My New Bike, Jr.

A few months back I wrote about MNB – the awesome Fuji that BJ surprised me with – and I [still] adore it! But yesterday, I got another new bike! Now, I promise I am not cheating on my Fuji with MNB, Jr. I would never do that! She is much too pretty and fast but, I just had to do it – and you’ll understand why in a minute.

So, without further ado:

MNB #2 is: a Trek Cruiser!! It’s SO freakin' cute and totally perfect for me. I’ve wanted a cruiser for f-o-r-e-v-e-r. I’m from Florida, my family lives on the beach and we ride them everywhere. So, imagine my surprise when I moved to DC and realized that there’s not a beach in sight (????) – WTF! Okay, okay, I knew there wasn’t a beach and I knew I wouldn’t be riding a cruiser to Dulles Airport with my flight attendant bags strapped on back... But that was then and this is now. I recently got a new job and now I live 1 mile (that's right, one) from work (0.5 if I stay at BJ’s)!! So I decided to take the plunge and buy a cruiser to ride to work, around town, to Whole Foods…pretty much anywhere my heart desires. It’s awesome!

Don’t be jealous - but this lime green basket is going on the handlebars -to hold my stylish heels and purse (or tomatoes from Whole Foods). Either way, I’m going green.

I don't mean to brag, but I’m gonna look pretty cool riding around Arlington!
