    ButterflyBubbles ...looking for inspiration...

    #$&^$% !!! 5 months ago

    Dang, dang, dang.
    Somebody stole my new shiny purple bike ;(
    That’s how karma treats me…
    It’s not easy to say
    but I hope it serves the thief well,
    perhaps he needed it more than I do…

    Looks like this goal gets back on the undone side of the list.

    Ok, So I have a bike to ride around on- its a mountain bike, and its small, but it belongs to my lovely landlord, Peri. So technically, I can get anywhere around Portland on it.
    But I still don’t have my own for when I move back to NY.

    Picked up a nice red ten-speed at a garage sale this morning… I even got to cruise around the block a few times before it started raining.

    a new commuting bicycle with panniers and a trunk rack, etc.



    didn't expect to check this one off so quickly... 14 months ago

    but yay! it is mine!

    i’m even riding it pretty regularly, several times a week to town or campus. it’s good. it makes me feel all healthy and alive. and as much as i love my car, it’s always good not to be so dependent. while i’m living in a place that’s bike-friendly, i should take advantage of it!



    Not just a bike 18 months ago

    I am totally gonna trade in my car this summer. Just a matter of working up to my 30 mile round trip commute, ha. The first step in a series though!

    Healthier all round 22 months ago

    There have been quite a few times recently when I have wished I had a bicycle. When I need to go to the nearby shops but don’t have enough time for the 30 minute round trip by foot, I resort to driving. And I have wonderful fire trails nearby on which I could ride a bike.

    When I was at school (three decades ago now) I used to think nothing of riding 5km there and another 5km home. Now I need more exercise to improve my health and fitness. A bicycle appears to be a perfect answer! Healthier for me and the environment.

    Time to shop around.

    i hate driving somewhere that i can bike to. my mom donated my bike a few months ago without my consent which is sad, so i plan to get a new one. or a new old one, whichever comes my way first.

    I had the opportunity, a ride & an assistant & I did it.

    This goal has been off & on my list since I joined this site, it’s good to have it finally completed!

    Now to get riding. My partner’s getting a bike by the end of the year so I am looking forward to riding together :)
