Biker chick

NEW ZEALAND | Wednesday, 22 Jun 2016 | Views [644]

I love my Sporty but find it a little high for me. My feet are on the ground but it's such a heavy bike that when I have to pull it backwards, usually into a park, I find it very difficult to handle. I went looking at other bikes, thought hard about ... Read more >


love

A very sad thing

NEW ZEALAND | Monday, 25 Jan 2016 | Views [566]

End of another year

NEW ZEALAND | Monday, 14 Dec 2015 | Views [677]

It's been a good year for riding. From January to May we were on the bikes almost every weekend. I take the bike off the road over winter as I admit I am a fair weather rider, can't handle the wind chill factor when it's cold. Got it back on the road ... Read more >

I'm not really a cat person but every chance she can get our cat Molly comes and sits on me, on the couch, on the bed... I give her her biscuits now and then and she gets a stroke down her back but other than that not much TLC from me as she is Kent's ... Read more >


Keep calm and carry on
