Sweet Dreams Are Riding a Bike*
Posted under Being RSG, Sustainable Living by Recovering Straight GirlThis new flowery blog theme will have to do. My genius is reserved for other things–not altering code in blog themes. I tried to fix the other theme but I couldn’t get it to work. I even deleted the theme, downloaded a new one and uploaded it again–still blacked out comments. So here we are–a different flowery theme. I like it, but I liked the other one better–but I won’t cry about it. Not today anyway.
Today I am too happy to cry. Why? Because I got a new bike yesterday! A bike that I can ride to Target and Safeway and to get coffee and visit friends and not drive my car that costs five cute tops at Marshall’s to fill up. I figured what better way to use some of China’s economic stimulus money than invest it in clean energy transportation.
Thanks China! I don’t care for your food or your policies–but I like your money!
Let me just say that My New Bike is the Coolest Bike on the Planet. It’s beautiful, red and shiny and it has a bell and a basket and a cushie seat.
And a secret.
I won’t reveal the secret yet–I’ll save it for the picture, or the video that will be coming up soon. I will tell you that the only thing that I don’t like about My New Bike–is that is that everyone is jealous of it–and I am sad that the whole world doesn’t have one.
I’m off to make a flower arrangement to adore the basket. If I’m riding a bike around town–it will be doily and flowery–because that’s the kind of lesbian I am.
*When I was a little girl, my Nana would ride a bike with me on the back in a baby seat. While we road I would sing a song that went, “Riding a bike, sweet dreams are riding a bike.” I was only two or three years old, but I remember the song!
I love the new theme!
Pretty, pretty.
Also, I totally wouldn’t know about sweet dreams and bikes because, even though my wife bought me the snazziest bike ever, I still can’t ride it. Oops!
This is warmer doily, I like it even better than the last one.
Enjoy your bicycle, perhaps you could sing that Queen song as you ride along…’I want to ride my bicycle…I want to ride my bike…;
I just got a new bike last week! Mine is a Trek..and it’s robins egg blue..If you lived closer I’d come ride with you!
Ooo LOVE the new theme!
Love the new theme! I recently got my very first new bike, so I identify with your glee! Mine is “soft yellow” with brown handlebars and seat. I’ll have to send you a pic. I think it’s going to change my life, at least a little and I’m totally in love with it.
It’s a shame that I live too far out in the country to ride a bike anywhere…cause I would.
Can’t wait to see the pics or video.
Oh please. The secret is so obvious.
Your bike is gay.
How cool is that? I want one now. I think I will take my China money and do the same. See what you have started. Great idea.
I can’t wait to see the pictures and find out what the secret is. How exciting.
Be careful out there, you can never be too safe these days.
I love my bike. It’s a robin egg blue Electra Townie, super dorky, super comfy, super cute. I’m looking forward to riding it more once I live someplace that isn’t so spread out.
If your bike is gay and my bike is gay maybe we could set them up?
I like the theme — it’s terrific. Have fun on your new bike it’s a great form of exercise.
and YES I nearly died at $50 to fill the tank on my Element the other day, I cannot imagine if I was filling up the tank on the Jeep Grand Cherokee I used to own. Yikes.
I want a hybrid - is Bush giving those away? Is Bush going away? YES.

Yay for bikes! I love mine.
I too love your bike. AND could you please tell my darling dear about where to find a bike like yours.
Since I am the only one that does NOT have a bike, I am feeling a bit left out on or family rides.
Yay Bikes and Flower Themes! Just stumbled across your blog, and like what I see!!

Is that the secret? That your bike is gay? How did you know?
how about a pic of the new bike!
I would love to get a bike and use it for errands and such. tho where we live -i would really need to be in better shape (Trader joes is … 20 miles away)
we are thinking of getting one of those old lady shopping carts and walking to the bigy for the weekly shop. (tho i am hoping we can fit all the food in one of those things - do you know how much 20 year old boys eat!)
Can we go riding by Old Man Johnson’s Farm? But I get to wear the Raspberry Beret.
