Helmets and Handlebars

Do you still remember the excitement of getting a new bike? I do!



me aged 7 with my 'retro' bike

For what seemed like a really long time I rode an old bike that had belonged to an auntie who grew up on the family property before me and while it did the job perfectly I still remember the excitement of receiving my brand new, never owned by anyone else, red Malvern Star. My grandparents presented it to me on my birthday (can't remember which one) and I loved it and it's parcel rack! I had no parcels but that was beside the point!




Miss B has outgrown her first two-wheeler so Mr B has been bike shopping and we have been reminded of the excitement all over again.

Master B is also an avid bike rider spending much of his time riding up and down the driveway and as far up the street as he thinks he can safely get away with. In what I consider to be true 'boy' fashion he has started to accessorise his vehicle. He is now the proud owner of cool pedals, foot pegs and some very cool shoes...

I think there will be some bike riding this weekend although I can never set off on a family ride without wanting to sing 'Do Ray Me' like Maria and the Von Trapp children

Did you own a pushbike? Do you still remember it?
