Guess what I did today?
I decided to go to a bike shop and look “into” buying a bicycle!
Yes, it is true!
I haven’t ridden a bike since childhood, but I see that I am going to have to lead my daughter by example. She would much rather sit and watch movies in the air conditioning (since it has been so hot here). I needed to motivate her to be outside more.
How do you like my helmet? Ha. I feel silly wearing one, but if I expect Princess to wear a helmet, then I should too.
Ok, here is my trusty “steed” … my early birthday present. My black beauty. Gears, shocks, … not like my kid bike. Now, to figure out the gears!
Does it say “Mama” bike or what? Snicker.
Anyway, here I am, about to take her for a spin. Princess took some action shots. ha. Lovely angle …
There I go …
Surely the additional exercise will be good for me …
I motivated Princess to ride and she had a great time.
Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your weekend!
THE END~
Great way to get your daughter motivated. You're a good mom, Beth. Way to go!
That will be great exercise. I have been thinking about getting a bike myself. Have fun!
Oh, I love riding my bike! It's great exercise and lots of fun too. Enjoy your new bike, Beth! 🙂
— much love,
Lindsay <3
I guess I'll get out of wearing a helmet since I don't have a bike. I never have understood the bikes with gears. I hopped on my nephew's bike last summer and could still ride one!
I love it Beth. And you have such beautiful scenery to ride. Nah, you look lovely in your helmet. Always confuses me that the protection of the helmet is on top of the head and not the sides where more than likely when you fall you will hit the side of your head. Go figure. Blessings.
Love it!!! "The End" is cute too!!
Leading by example is the best way to teach good habits to your daughter. So good for you girl! Keep it up and inspire me, OK?

Oh you look adorable in the bike helmet. I use to love riding bikes as a kid, but not sure I would even remember how to ride one, it's been so long. Think of all the exercise you will get, and wonderful time together with your princess!
Very awesome sis, love it.
I have been thinking of getting a bike….May do it now.
Happy Early Birthday! The helmet is styling and safe.
I'd say…you look like a PRO with that helmet 😉 What a great mom you are…Always inspiring. Always encouraging Princess.
Have a great weekend and God bless. Nice pics BTW!
Wonderful! Yes-this will be a great way to exercise and to spend time with Princess! Love your helmet Beth-safe and very stylish!!
I haven't ridden a bike for years and I should get one!Riding bikes in Oxford is very popular as this is the mode of transport for all the students in this big city.
Enjoy your new bike!
Have a blessed Sunday!
Blessings and hugs.
Oh! I like your bike!! And admire you for deciding to ride again after so many years!! I too have thought about getting a bike, but I don't really have an area to ride it "safely"…I could get on our road joining our street, but then again, lots of cars go to and fro on that road.
The helmet looked good on you too!
Enjoy riding with your daughter!

Love it! I'm having a bit of wheel envy over here. 🙂 Haven't ridden a bike since Connor came home. It's just impossible for me to ride and tote 5 little ones too. LOL!!
Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures with the Princess and the bikes!!
Enjoy!!
Much love!

Good for you!!! we have lots of bikes..not for me but we always have lots of hills here too! no thanks..however after last nights Volleyball game I may be playing a non-competitive friendly game on Mondays! Extra excerise!
Chris got me a nice bike a couple of years ago, but since I've been sick so much I haven't ridden it much. Well that & the fact that I tend to fall over!
Great idea. Good for you and your daughter too.
Have a great week, and get lots of exercise and fresh air.
Charlotte
That is awesome!!! You both will have so many great memories!! I should get a bike too!
I love your bike. You look adorable and princess is a great photographer.
CUTE
I love it Beth! Good for you! Bryan and I have been mulling over the idea of both of us getting one. We have a lot of parks and trails here and thought it might be fun. I hope you enjoy it!
