My New Bike

My bike was delivered today. I've bought a Pashley Princess Sovereign. Not a cheap bike so not that frugal but it's ideal for me. I have a disability so can only ride the old style bikes. It has a huge basket on the front & I bought one to go on the back as well. My plan is to use it as much as possible & the car as little as possible. I'd really love it if eventually I could get rid of the car but I'm not at that point yet. Monkey would need to be able to ride his bike well & at 3.5 years old that's going to take some more time. He's too big now to go in a trailer or a seat on my bike as he's very tall for his age,or rather I'm assuming he is. I really should investigate the trailer option although I'm not sure how my legs would feel about having to pull all that weight.

Weather permitting I'll use it for the pre school run, walking there with Monkey whilst pushing my bike & then I'm free to cycle to the shops, home or where ever else I need to go. I really want it to be a form of transport, not just a luxury item. As well as saving money on fuel hopefully by the end of this year I'll be a lot fitter as well :o)
