Right Ideas and a Shiny New Bike

Muffin Mouse is the proud owner of a new bike today!  The way the purchase came together was a nice reminder that a right idea has the resources necessary to make it happen.


Muffin Mouse and I have been sharing a bike with her Dad (three bikes for two people) for the past year.  For most practical purposes this works well - there is generally a bike available when you want to ride one. But this sharing did limit our opportunities for family bike rides (and although, perhaps romantic, I am not so inclined to double-up on one bike!)

The inaugural bike ride today.

Our family has been actively working to limit our material wants and have resisted the temptation to run out and buy a new bike on a whim. We set a modest budget last year, but did not find a suitable bike.


We received an email a couple of days ago from family asking if we would be interested in a beautiful bike - it exceeds our specifications and was the price we were planning to spend:)  We are all so delighted with it, and grateful that we will have the opportunity to ride our bikes as a family all summer this year.

Oh, and it included the helmet she needs too!

The statuesque shot so you can see the bike clearly!

Joyfully active,
Caz.
