Set the Wheels in Motion

Since I'm typing this before our actual trip....

If all goes well we should be biking this trail today.
In honor, this post is about bicycles!!

Story
I love to ride my bike. Or my mom's bike since its beyond chic. However exactly 10 years ago, I wouldn't tell you the same thing. Well, other than the obvious reason of riding my mom's bike. No, 10 years ago, I didn't know how to ride a bike. Or rather, I didn't really want to learn how to ride a bike. Maybe because I was shy and didn't like adventure in my youth. (Up to this day I still have not rollerbladed/skated. I'll go one day, just with the right date. Wink, wink.) That all changed the next summer. While causing mischief in our backyard with my sister, we grabbed and bike and off I went. I remember the look of amazement and joy in my sister's face that was mirrored in my face as soon as I rode a stretch in our yard. I jumped off the bike and ran towards her laughing with delight. Soon after I took my first official bike ride to a friends house about 1 mile away. I've been riding ever since.

Song
Lenka's The Show is the cutest music video ever. She's riding a bike of course. Not to mention that I LOVE this song. You can find it here.

Picture
Perfection achieved with books in the basket.

Video
Best bike video ever! We use to rewind the movie over and over again for this scene.

Food
Shoutout to local restaurant:
I love the bicycles for decor and the sweet potatoe chips.
