How much can you carry on your bike?

So now we have been relying on our bikes more for everyday chores, as well as bikeling to work (we have a car - but are lucky to use it once a week), and it truly is amazing how much you can fit on your bike with a bit of artful arranging!


L-Pop is a prime example of this. Her basket strains under the weight of her enormous bag, but it's all functional!




Not to mention how on a recent bike ride, spontaneous purchases (read absolute bargains - that you can't leave behind), were simply loaded on and actually made life easier then just walking home with said purchases...







Grocery shopping... No problemo! Just make sure you are balanced...





And the bicycle comes in handy, even for the most simplest of chores... S-boy likes to ride the rubbish to the bin (we live in an apartment block) on his way out. Bikes make chores FUN!











Even going to the ATM is easier. Imagine having to find a carpark just to do this!

So next time you need to tackle a chore, go at it on a bike and find yourself smiling with smug satisfaction (as seen below...).

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was J-Bot's birthday. What do you get a girl who rides a bike called Florence?

This...

Except we don't wear helmets and I couldn't find the shop that sells it. So the next obvious choice is a pink ukelele... duh!

This easily could be going to be J-bot's first album cover except that she is stiving to become an angsty ukelele artist like this girl...

Now lets compare...

Hmmm J-Bot you have a little way to go yet. Especially when adding your bike into the mix and while wearing your favourite 5-year-old-party-dress.

I tried to find some inspiration for you. I think you will be pleased with the muses I have found for you. To help you identify your own ukelele style!

Elvis is always a classic as is this dapper dude in the suit.

What did surprise me was how well ukeleles and bikes go together. Check out this about bikes and ukeleles.

I wish you a very happy birthday... and hope you get as much enjoyment out of your ukelele as you do your bike. Only sorry I couldn't get you cake on your birthday so here is a pic of the next best thing!
