check plus.

We bought my beach cruiser yesterday and quickly got it outfitted with a basket. I can't sit on it without feeling like I'm back at school on the way to class or Traddies (our on campus bar).

I love it.

Paul's bike (not pictured) is pretty fancy because it's doing the heavy lifting like getting him to work. Mine is for trips to the local Office Depot, the downtown post office and the library.

Can't wait to get out and about. And don't worry, I have a legit helmet (also not pictured) for all my future rides.

    This really makes me want to visit SD. My BF lives there and I have never been in five years. So sad. We are making plans. I hope we find time to rent bikes!
