This Is How I Roll

We love bicycles at our Haus.  So much so, we have 4. . . for 2 people.  We would probably have 5 if it were up to husband.  Bicycles and knives are two things he can't get enough of.  After riding my new bike, I totally get it; nothing compares to riding a bike that feels like it was built just for you {I don't think I'll ever understand the knife thing though}.

Reasons why I LOVE my bike: it's the perfect size {not so easy to find for "Captain Short Legs"} light, amazingly fast, and has the most perfect cadence.  I couldn't be happier with my purchase except to say I wish the paint job was a little less girly.  Coming from me... this is saying a lot.  But I do have to admit once I'm on and riding around, I'm having way too much fun to even think about it.

For the folks here at the Haus, it's not enough to have two bikes per person.  We also feel the need to express our bike-love through art, accessories, and apparel.  Apparently we are not alone because it's easy find like-minded people willing to sell you a little bike-love of their own.

PS: If you live in Lincoln and want a bicycle built just for you or for two check out ReCycled.  Cycle Works & Monkey Wrench are also great shops to check out.

  2. Maria, this is why I love you. Queen of the search. I am seriously considering buying that burp cloth for when we have kids :)
