In the Spring I plan on riding my bike more often

February 22, 2008 by Tricia

Spring will be here soon and if you’re like me, suffering through a very cold winter with lots of snow, you’re probably yearning for the nice weather to arrive. Usually by this time of year I’ve got cabin fever. It’s not quite as bad this year because we’ve got the puppy and whether I like it or not I’ve been getting outside every single day. No matter how cold it’s been. Brrrr

As I said when we got our puppy one of the reasons we got her was so that I could get more active. That new resolve had led to a lot more walking. I think I probably walk at least three to five extra miles each day now.

When the weather gets better, in about a month, I’ll get my bike out and hopefully start to go for rides a few times a week if not every day. If I don’t ride too fast our puppy can trot along beside me for while I go for a short ride.

We do need to get another bike though. My husband Chris has two bikes but neither of them are in good shape. One is a ten speed that only has one speed now! The other is also a 10 speed but it’s totally dismantled.

So I think one of the things we’ll purchase in the next month or so is a new bike for Chris. We have great bike trails near us here in almost downtown Toronto and then there’s always the boardwalk area at the beach too. They’re great areas for both walks, runs and bike rides.

I took a look at the Beach Cruiser website and I really like one or two of the cruiser bike styles. I think Chris will like them too.

I really like the yellow one that I included an image of at the top of this post! It’s so bright you couldn’t miss it and I like the style too. It’s a womens model and the price is quite reasonable too! Who knows, maybe I’ll even get myself a new bike too! They accept credit card and Paypal as forms of payment. Perhaps I could get the two of us new bikes using the earnings in my Paypal account. Now that would be nice!

They have cruisers for men, women and children as well as low rider and chopper style models too. Take a look at the site if you’ve been thinking of getting a new bike or if you have plans to become more active this Spring.

I’m certain that any of the cruiser models would make a fantastic gift for someone special in your life too.

    One of the best forms of exercise – and a nice way to travel too – esp. if you live near a beach…
