So in light of my recent post about cool Danish bike culture, I convinced my mom to buy a bike today!
She was going to get my old 10 speed "fixed up" but I convinced her that it's not really want she wants. She's 60 & riding on sidewalks to her office, the coffeehouse, grocery store. Maybe over to Omi's for lunch. Nothing more than a few miles. I mean, really why waste the gasoline driving those distances? I knew she wasn't going to be comfortable on a narrow tired, hunched over bike with a skinny seat.
She's getting a cruiser style woman's street bike. Wide tires, comfy seat, no speeds, coaster brakes. It doesn't have a basket, but she's looking to add one for her "shopping". I found her a cup holder
so when she stops at the Starbucks she can take her heavy breve home with her. I'm giving it to her as a little gift.
I'm so proud & excited for her! This will be great for her health & mood. Plus one less person driving is always a good thing!
1 down, how many more to go?
