Bike Loven'

this past weekend i went to the beach - while sitting there, up rode a girl with the cutest bike my lil eye's have ever seen! - i couldn't resit - i had to go up to her and ask ALL about it - the most important question - WHERE did you get it! - turns out, she got it @ this lil bike shop on LBI - so what am i doing this weekend?! - you got it - i'm heading over the bridge to buy my dream bike!
HERE it is above! ~ only thing missing is a basket!
Joe and I seem to do a lot of bike riding in the summer - i like to ride around down the shore and take in the sites - and since he lives only a few blocks from the beach in Staten Island, we do riding there as well! - i dunno what it is - but i just love to ride a bike in the summer and take all my surroundings in ~ especially in beach communities !!

DO YOU BIKE RIDE?!

Here's some more lovely bike images:

how cute? i would love to decorate my bike with flowers!

totallllly loven' the vintage vibe this dream machine is giving!

now that bike means ALL business to me! - check out that lil shopping cart in the front - LOVE IT!

what is NOT to love about the tricycle - SO my next bike!

as you can tell i'm a "granny bike" type of gal .. HOW BOUT YOURSELF?!

  1. Hi Erika! Your bikes are all adorable! My mom and sister have pink Townie bikes and I am just in love with them. Matt and I bought Trek bikes a few years ago, and although mine is periwinkle-ish (with a bell - heehee!) I still drool over the cute bikes like you have pictured here. Can't wait to see what you select!! Hugs!! xox

  2. It's beautiful! It's so much prettier than my mountain bike, I need one like this, too! What colour are you going to get it in, the peach like in the photo?

  5. Oh I fun! Enjoy getting your bike this weekend! I too love these style of bikes. A few years ago receive one like the top image in a light green with baskets on the back. My inspiration was Ms. Jessica Fletcher. Love that lady. =) And you meet so many people when you ride such a bike. Love this.

  11. Awh I love it! I'm not much of a bike rider because I live in the city and I'm too chicken to. Actually it's really more of a storage issue :) I would so decorate my bike with flowers if I had one though :)

    Enjoy the day honey! xoxo
