Bike Rides

Even though you hate going uphill, and downhill is way too scary, there is nothing like a good old fashion bike ride. Changing gears, sitting on that uncomfortable seat, feeling so insecure as you try to avoid the cars ripping by. It is something everyone loves to do. Once you know how, you know how for good. It is such a freeing feeling. The wind in your hair, ringing the bell, hearing your motor fashioned out of a clothes pin and a queen of hearts. My friend Amy and I had such fun on our wild Saltspring bike adventure. We taped ipod speakers to the handle bars of Amy's bike and as we were riding we would sing along to the songs blasting out of the little music maker. It was so much fun. Just for the sake of it we had the song "Knock 3 times" just like in the movie "Now and Then". It was honestly like I had nothing to worry about. Except the giant hill creeping closer and closer. Bike rides are such a wonderful thing to do. Even though it is tough and your bum hurts and your thighs feel like jelly there is no better way to spend a day. Sheer beauty and chains a clankin of amazing.
