I have never enjoyed bike riding. In fact, up until a few weeks ago, I believe that the last time I had been on a bike was in grade 6 when I ran into a pedestrian. In my defence, I had just moved from a banana-seated cruiser bike to a racing handled ten speed and I was not used to hand brakes.
No one was hurt but still -- not blissful.
But now my daughter has developed a passion for bike riding: it is the one activity she longs to do every day. And so I decided it was time to join her.
And off to the bike shop I went. I wanted something with thick wheels and easy to use gears. And it had to be pretty, like the bikes in the J. Crew catalogue.
Enter the Trek Navigator in Ice Blue. I'm not sure how many gears it has but gosh is it pretty and easy to ride. I am able to keep up with my five year old and I can even imagine the day when I might take it for a spin on my own just for the fun of it.
Biking can be blissful. Who knew?
