Our new bikes
So we bought two new bikes during the weekend. After a week of searching online and a day of walking around with our friend who knows a lot about bikes, we finally found them. My bike is a cyan woman style bike. My husband’s bike is gray and green.
We have been on our bikes almost all weekend. It’s so much fun. It’s a little hard though, especially because there are lots of hills here and I am not really used to it. There are lots of parks and trails that we can ride our bikes in. Besides being fun, we are doing some much needed exercise too, which is great.

There are just a few sore hands and butts in ForeverInSchool residence, which will eventually go away. But I’m telling you, it’s so worth the pain.
Biking in the city brought back memories
Last weekend we went out to get some food for lunch, when we accidentally ran into three of our friends from school who were going to eat at the same place. They had come with their bikes. After lunch, we went to waterfront for an afternoon walk. (Well, we walked, but those poor guys had to carry their bikes all the way!!) My friend offered me her bike for a short ride. At first I hesitated, but then I went for it.
I hadn’t ridden a bike for about 5 years. Oh, my goodness! I had forgotten how good it felt. The feeling of floating in the air, with a breeze on my face, …. It was awesome.
And it brought back memories… lots of memories.
Memories of 5,6 years ago, biking with my sisters and my fiance at the time, in Chitgar park…, excited about my relationship with him…, couldn’t wait to start a new life together….
Memories of 15 years ago, biking with my best friend in a square near our houses…. How happy and carefree we were, how curious we were about people, especially boys!! We were looking forward to seeing what future had for us….
Memories of 20 years ago, in a small alley where our house was, biking back and forth in the alley…, my father trying to teach me to take right U-turns. (I was only able to turn left and refused to try otherwise!)

We are going to buy bikes and we are determined to use them this summer.
