Freedom # 2, Riding a Bike with My Son

When I left California and moved to Ohio at 20 years old, my friends loaned me one of their 10 speeds.

I rode it to work daily, and it was a life saver.

I rode bikes on and off for a few years, but eventually I just became too large.

I think I even can recall riding a bike before I got pregnant (at 29) but after that…. no.

So, this butt has definitely NOT been on a bike in 8 years.

I wanted to ride a bike with my son.

I wanted to be next to him, enjoying the day, riding in the sun.

There was a bike I required also….. a beach cruiser.

Big, comfy seat…. old school.

Like I grew up riding in California.

This was the bike I had to have.

So, back in May we found one at a garage sale.

Big and comfy, my style…. nothing new about it!

My son and I are riding in style, enjoying our days and laughing.

What a great freedom.

My son, and my new bike.
