CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted July 23, 2013 Thats it. No big news...just happy. Finally got my "cruiser type" bike fixed and bought a used mountain bike (both from a bike hobbiest guy who custom fitted it just for me). Best $50 I recently spent. I went for a little ride last night and thought "wow - this is alot easier at 155 then at 300+++.... LOL. I am going to do another little ride after work today. Tonight, i am meeting a friend for a horseback ride. Okay, i do that alot, nothing new, but I just can't believe how "full" my life is now. I look back at the person who tried to be active but often sat at home watching TV because the body couldn't keep up with the heart and desires.... It makes me happy to every day be living the life I want! 13 Paul11011, ProudGrammy, jacee and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted July 23, 2013 I like good days Jane! and a cruiser bike? Yep I love mine and riding it is so much easier now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted July 24, 2013 I want one of those bikes! That would be so fun. I am going to look into that. It's too bad all of us vst friends live so spread out. It would be so fun to go bike riding together. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacee 183 Posted July 24, 2013 Ok what is a cruiser bike? I am imagining a cool retro old fashioned easy strider type back...not one of those new fangled "Mountain Bikes" lol although I knew a girl that was a mountain biker who had the most rockin body from it. Its challenging for me to ride one on flat pavement, let alone up a dirt trial on a mountain.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Georgia 2,908 Posted July 30, 2013 My cruiser baby... I have a "crusier" bike copy! Old style bike but new. Love to ride it. Only problem is that I live up on the side of a small mountain and have to transport down the hill and good area to ride unless I go somewhere else! It manages to deter me frequently from riding as much as I would like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted July 30, 2013 Yeah, my bike is really heavy! So hills are hard.. We have some hills here and you will find me huffing and puffing or walking it up. The beach is my favorite place to ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
