I want to ride my bicycle.
I want to ride it where I like!
We definitely needed a little theme song for this post as it’s the beginning of our first ‘summer series’ blogs, we are thinking of also adding a BBQ summer series… because who doesn’t love a good BBQ?!
Introducing: ‘the merrymakers bike ride’.
You heard it here first, this summer we pledge to drive less and ride more. We can think of a million benefits of riding a bike. Not only is it good for our health but we too are doing our bit for the environment.
The benefits of riding a bike:
- no carbon emissions
- works our legs + butt (it’s like incidental exercise!)
- no feeling can beat the wind in your hair
- saves you money on parking + petrol (this will be going toward our lulu lemon fund)
- ours have baskets big enough for groceries, lunch + our handbag!
- it makes us happy
- and apparently the earth sends extra love to those on bicycles (this is scientifically documented… maybe).
So meet our bikes: Harry + Freddy (they are twins). Vintage style, custom (merry)made bikes thanks to our friends at Cell Bikes. Aren’t they just the cutest?! They are everything we ever dreamed of in a bike + we can’t wait to share our adventures with you. In fact, during our very first test drive, c got swooped by a magpie… twice… a little taste of what’s to come?! Eek!
If you have a bike, we’d love to meet it, leave us a comment + tell us all about it!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
