Let me to introduce you to the newest member of our family….Lulu. She is my birthday present this year. She is yet another attempt to find a bicycle that I actually like to ride. I am not getting rid of my road bike….Lulu is just another lower-maintenance option. She is more comfortable & I can ride her around the neighborhood and I don’t have to worry about gears (she has gears but just a dial on one handlebar) and clip-in shoes & pedals, etc.
I have been talking about getting a cruiser for about two years…since I rented one in Orange Beach and LOVED it. Here I am with that one:
I rode from our condo all the way to the Flora-Bama, which include going over a huge bridge/hill. But it was so fun! We rode bicycles so much during that vacation and had a blast.
So, tonight I took Lulu to the VA. I have been riding her a little bit up & down Fairmont Drive (careful to avoid hills, of course), but this was our first real ride.
It was about 7 o’clock, but still pretty hot.
You can see Brent airing up the tires while I take pictures of myself. It is obviously who is the mature, responsible one.
Red light pictures!
The VA is a great place exercise…it is so peaceful & calm here.
This is me when I got to the top of a hill -- I fully expected to have to get off & push, but I made it!
And then I played on the playground while I waited for Brent to come & get me.
What a perfect summer Sunday evening!
