SWMBO has a new steed!

Postby Blybo » Sun Nov 11, 2007 10:11 pm

It's not named yet but here it is

We picked it up yesterday arvo so had a quick ride yesterday and a lazy 77 k's today to run everything in. Rachel is rapt with it and so am I. Rach was doing around 30kph on the flats (with a very slight tail wind) and we were able to average just over 20 for the ride and both had average HR under 130, so good fat burning riding. There was also quite a bit of bike paths in that ride which kept the average down; it was such a beautiful day the families were all out on the paths.

...and I think we are getting a space issue here;

Get rid of the car. Plenty of room for bikes then :D

Glad she's happy. New bikes is so much fun :wink:

That's her car so we could probably sell it :lol: [ducks head]

Mine is a hatch version but modded :roll: . Will I never learn...

Oh, I've just noticed that the front wheel of her bike was on a door mat, the bars are actually slightly lower than the seat. And we don't have a beige shed or garage door, the courtyard doors will have to do.

I dont notice any smaller bikes in the Garage for kids ;-) Thats when life changes. Had to sell the smaller fast cars for something a little more family friendly ;-)

Cheers..Pete

No rug rats yet, no wedding bells either. Happily living in sin, if it is still looked at like that, but big decisions on both fronts in the next year. The clock is ticking...

Car wise, my rex will make way early next year (fingers crossed) for a Liberty GT wagon or the new Commodore SS sportswagon (at last Holden have realised the wagons of old were just too big)

Thats a nice bike. I bet she is cheering that she finally has her bike and can get out with you without slowing you down...too much. :wink:

You have heaps and heaps of room. Just put all the stuff on them shelves...on the one shelf, if it doesn't fit. Force it.

Then get a few of them bike racks that you can store them above each other or get one of the old school racks where the front wheel sits in and put it in the corner.

You could sell the car...but then that would just give another kid the opportunity to buy a nice Subie and make him think he is cool.
