• THEN AND NOW THURSDAY


    Bikes…remember that old banana seat?

    Ok, most of you know I like to road bike. Give me bunch of water bottles strapped to my bike and warm, sunny day, and I’ll ride forever.

    Well … not forever, but you know what I mean.

    So, what better to do Then and Now Thursdays, right? Because, remember that bike you rode growing up?

    Oh, mine was Yellow, though. And had some flowers on the big seat, I think.

    No frills from the handlebars, though.

    I found a picture of an older Raleigh bike. vintage-road-bike I never had one that looked like that, but you know, they’re makin’ a come back, you know?

    But NOW,

    Oh boy. The technology has changed. It’s all about how light the bike is, things like that.

    There’s even something called a time trial bike.

    Way sleek and ergonomic so you’re in the best position to get the most power. time-trial-bike

    To tell you the truth, I never liked biking until about a year or so ago.

    I’d been big into inline speed-skating and was told I should “cross-train” with a road bike.

    I begrudgingly did…then totally fell for it.

    So, what kind of bike did you have growin’ up?
