But the funnest part was presents (of course!). Apart from a fantastically sharp (and appropriately adult) cooks knife I got a bike (well, I get to choose one) ! I've never actually owned a bike, except for a tricycle when I was about 4. Living upon a giant hill means I need a bike with some serious gear-power, so I've gone with a roadster/hybrid looking thing (plus basket and stylish mud guards of course!). In the lead up much drooling over European-style roadsters happening, so here's a taste of the beautiful bikes I found.

A belated Happy Birthday (not sure if I've given my wishes or not yet...). I love those bikes, especially the last red one, how cool is that saddle bag and of course those red shoes! Mmmm... mind you, not sure I could stay on the bike if I was in those shoes and dress :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melanie! Yes, I love the red one too! Actually I just bought a red pair pair of shoes fairly similar - it must have been in my mind subconsciously! Unfortunately there are no fantastic and stylish helmets to match :(
ReplyDeleteOOOOH! Red, or powder blue, with a basket of course - just if you were asking! (and happy happy belated birthday).
ReplyDeleteOh yes Julia, the red one is so, so stylish! Hope you had a great birthday :)
ReplyDeleteOooh!!! I love the Velorbis! I was sooo drooling over them! Have you checked out the bikes on ebay? They are pricey for what they are, but the drool factor (vintage with baskets) is 10/10!
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of love and I can't believe your birthday was the one I think it is!!!
Love
