We have a little island off the coast where I live, where it is bikes only, no cars, and the holiday time I spend there is looked forward to for months.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055363314023822240.post-88154547222642565012013-02-28T10:25:53.071-08:002013-02-28T10:25:53.071-08:00I sometimes forget how lucky we are in AZ to have ...I sometimes forget how lucky we are in AZ to have 70 degree weather in Feb:)<br /><br />We pay for it in the summer though!Jes The Militant Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842115723190733209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055363314023822240.post-54437313400638649612013-02-28T10:25:15.718-08:002013-02-28T10:25:15.718-08:00Thats the thing!

And neither of us fall into the 'skinny' category. (I'm sending him this link right after I finish this comment.) And that bike shop is so cool. We have something like that where I live too, but we haven't gone to it very much. Good for you lady, good for you.

As I look wistfully out the window of my suburban Detroit home and watch the snow fall for the fourth day in a row I remember bike riding and wonder if I'll ever get to do it again.<br /><br />Sarah<br />bringmoreyarn.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05157385912523970413noreply@blogger.com
