mode of transportation

The past few days I have been riding my bike to and from work (except today, it's raining). It saves on gas and it's a little bit of exercise. I can't help but feel like a little kid when I'm riding my bike. Going down a hill right before my apartment I feel myself revert to age 10. I want to lean my head back and enjoy the breeze. And just like when I was that age, I want to take my hands off the handlebar but don't because I'm too chicken. Or maybe I'm just afraid of what my mom would say...

A couple years ago I bought this bike on a garage sale for ten dollars...a girl's Huffy that was decked out in purple and black speckles. Last summer Josh did a custom paint job on it and now I love it. I think I should name it but can't think of anything fitting.

I've definitely been enjoying this beautiful weather that is perfect for bike riding. I can't help but think that I probably look like a goon or a drunk that lost her license. I don't care though, I just smile, wave to people and hum "Bicycle Race" by Queen to myself.

holy cow kimberly!!! i could have written this post. I too have been riding my bike to work lately, and wonder if people think I've got 6 DUIs or something. . . AND I also get the Queen song about bicycles stuck in my head. too funny. ;)
I used to ride my bike to work every single day (until I wrecked it) and I loved it. It's great exercise, it's a lot cheaper than gas, and it gives you as a motorist a new respect for bicyclists. Glad that you love your bike so much!

about me

I'm 29 and live in central Illinois. I've been married to an amazing man for four and a half years. We have a little white dog and bought our first house in 2008. We added a new member to our family in October 2008. Jasper is made of marshmallows and awesome. I am lucky enough to stay at home with him. He makes us laugh everyday. I also have my own photography business called Knight Light. We also do what we can to be a little more eco-friendly.
