    I got my Husband and I bikes a few years ago, We never find time to go, He cares for his elderly mom on weekends and never gets home till about 7 on weekdays. I live in the hilly country so we take them to town on the bike trail, I miss it!!
    We do take them camping every year and bike with the Grandkids.

    I keep thinking that I need to get my bike down and tuned up. It has been probably 10 years for me. I should just "do it"

    I love to ride my bike, back in the fall I was riding 4-6 miles every day, but it is WAY to hot now to ride.

    I bought an old bike and my husband painted it purple and I put stickers - butterflies, paisley's and flowers - on it and a basket. You know I look good, a 55 year old on this bike....lol

    Today is my birthday and my husband had put a new tire/tube on my bike and spiffed it up for me. I really enjoy riding my bike! It feels so good to be riding in the wind and and it takes me back to my early teen years when I rode my bike everywhere---didn't know it was exercise back then. I just did it because I liked it. I'm 58 today and I still enjoy riding!

    My DH and I love to ride our bike. Yep "bike" not "bikes." We have a tandem that we really enjoy. I told him my deal was that I'd pedal him DOWN the hills if he'd pedal me UP them. :-) We've got mountains and beaches near us, so have a lot of opportunities to ride.

    I bike as much as I can, and I have a tag a long for the kid. He loves it. I have an ear virus ATM which has affected my balance, so I can't ride, it is driving me crazy.
