My bike. #SOCSunday
I’ve seen where @susannabarbee and @jaimemckee have been doing a Stream of Conscious weekend link-up.
I met these two women at Type-A Parent Blogging Conference a year ago. It’s been fun to see how their social media/writing/blogging careers have progressed in the last 12 months.
And me?
Well . . . .
So I’m going to hop on their linkup this beautiful afternoon and take a well-deserved break before I start transcribing an interview.
Setting the timer for 5 mins and just writing.
Wait a sec — I’ve got to set my timer.
GO
I’m sitting outside on the porch because it is absolutely gorgeous out here.
A little warm, but I’m shaded and heck. I just like warm all over cold and wet.
While out here, I’ve noticed a number of bikes going by.
I’ve writen about riding my road bike, but I haven’t talked about my other bike. My cruiser.
See.
I try to ride this guy when I have little errands in town. I ride it to the bank. The tellers love it. But you do have to balance on the curb while the little door swings out. Then I drop letter off in the box, and cruise to my workout at the gym.
You know what brought the enjoyment level of my bike to a new level.
A basket.
Now I can drop all my little trinkets in there and head off.
Now I do feel a little like the witch in the Wizard of OZ and I must look a bit silly but I’m okay with it.
Because I feel so young on my . . .
Okay. Not the most inspired writing. But it was fun. Just like me and my bike and a sunny day.
Yay! I am so glad you linked up. I love reading your writing. Ahhh…riding a bike around town sounds so lovely. So much like a storybook. I live in a storybook town but not quite close enough to the center of town to ride my bike there. And by the way, pretty lady, you look nothing like the wicked witch!
It is fun and very small town. Okay — maybe I don’t look witchy as much as goofy. I have a friend who I say looks like Doris Day tooling around town. Me. Not so much.
I’m so jealous of your bike(s)! I would love to be able to ride around town on a cruiser, but we don’t even have sidewalks in my side of town. (boooo.) Thanks for linking up!!
I’m sure y’all have lots of hills. Big hills.
Well I enjoyed it! I’ll have to lookup this SOC community. I miss having an official one. Love it that you can take your bike on errands. I wish I could but for the most part on this side of town there’s no sidewalks and then to get any place “errandy”, I’d have to cross over a 4 lane hwy. It’s scary enough doing that in a car.
Yeah. No way with a 4-laner. I have a pretty busy road out in front of my house and the sidewalks are killer. V. bumpy. I’m lucky I can take the back roads a few blocks into town. I need to find time to break away and ride down to the post office today.
