Squuuueeeeeeee!!!!!

Well

What

Have

We

Here?

Well, we've got a woman who has her first new bike since she was a kid.

And it seems, in a way, to have turned her back into just that:

a happy kid.

*note to those concerned: a helmet will always be worn in the future: this was the first ride to check the brakes, tires and alignment. Carry on :) And extra super grateful thanks to Julie and B. Rose, the bikiest people I know!!!!

EDIT: her name is Paulette, an offshoot of Pulpette, which I could not stop thinking when I looked at her all shiny and new.

I haven't been on a bike since I was a kid......The thought of jumping on one now, scares me a wee bit :) You go lady!

Oh- I love her! I may have to find myself some yarn in that exact shade today, it makes me happy seeing you so happy, enjoy your new ride.

Yes, name her!

I love Katy, my red cruiser, but I'm still more than a little jealous of your brand new, orange bike.

Allison! I have been mostly MIA, with a little lurking thrown in, over these past few months. But this is me saying Hello Again! And that your stories and your photos and your art, and yes most certainly this fantastic new bike, buoy me up. Thank you, my dear Sunny, and RIDE ON!!

I just got a new one too!!! Let's meet in the middle of the country for a bike ride.

You've got wheels again...the green kind...after trying every type of wheel out there, including roulette, gotta say, nothing is sweeter or less expensive than a bicycle.

Of course you would go for Orange and name it... have fun...
