I did it! I gave in and bought a bike. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find inline skates. Who knew Hawai’i is anti-skates?!?
I named my bike Emma. I don’t know why, but it just seemed like an Emma. Even though, my bike is silver, I didn’t feel like it was a boy. LOL. Wow…that sounded crazy.
Don’t I look so hipster in my PJs? LOL. I wrote more about Emma on Fluffy2Fit. Go ahead and check it out.
I’m such a noob when it comes to bikes. I already broke Emma, but not to worry, I am going to get her fixed tomorrow (well, but the time you read this…today!) So, if anyone would like to give me some advice…like maintenance, how to fuel myself for a bike ride, how to shift gears, etc…anything, please comment!
Who’s up for a bike ride?
Naming your bike(s) is perfectly normal. All four (soon to be five) of my bikes know their names (Tatiana, Jaguar, Lexus, and Mercedes). I need four bikes because winters in Chicago have a bit more snow and ice than you get in Hawaii.
Phew, I thought I was the only one naming bikes. I told my friends and they pretty much laughed at me. I can’t blame them. I love your blog. I’m trying to read more about cycling. It’s so much fun.
I LOVE Chicago. I wish I lived there…we should switch places. LOL. I am a Uno deep dish pizza fan…more than Gino’s. (Sorry, if you are a Gino’s fan). I still think Millennium Park is the best park I’ve ever been at. (And this goes up against Japan, San Fran, Kentucky, Virginia, and Hawaii.) I still have to visit Wrigley’s Field and Weiner’s Circle. I never swore while ordering food before, it sound kinda fun.
We have an UNO Pizza shop just ten minutes from my house — highly addictive. Chicago is a great place, but the cost of living getting out of hand.
No ways! I would bike to UNO’s every weekend! Well, I shouldn’t be eating pizza every weekend.
If I ever visit Chicago again, we gotta do a bike ride. And vise versa when/if you come to Hawai’i. That sounds like fun!
If you enjoy something that you use, you should name it.. haha.. I know I do. ;P. It’s not that Hawaii is anti-inliine skating, it’s just that at one time, they were cool. That’s no reason to not try and bring them back. Anyways, that’s a hella nice bike, be careful out there. Drivers are little care less about bike riders. See around, Homeslice! keep in touch, and don’t be strange
True, I think inline skating used to be SO cool that it became uncool. You know what I mean? I think Zumba might become one of those fads, but right now it’s still going strong.
I am not brave enough ride on busy roads like Vineyard or King street, but I’ve been riding around slow places like Manoa or Kapiolani Beach park. One day, I want to bike around the island. That would be fun, uh? This year’s Triple Crown season, I’m going to bike around North Shore. I can’t wait!!! It’s going to be so much fun. Finding parking for my car might be hell, but once I hit that open road I know it will be all worth it. LOL
Ya…no stranger status here. It just sucks that we don’t have any classes together! This sucks!
I have seen inline skates in sports authority. I got rid of a pair right before we moved her. I want the old fashioned kind. But I’m going to have to find this bike trail!
Now why didn’t I think of that! That’s the one place I didn’t check. LOL I was thinking about getting the old fashion roller derby style skates for Halloween. I was thinking about being a 70′s roller girl. LOL I’m not too sure if I’m going to do it. I always change my mind every other day. Sigh…the joys of being a woman.
