wind will rush through my hair

back in the dreary month of january, allie and i made plans for the first possible free weekend to reward ourselves for surviving school by finally finding our long awaited bikes. we have been counting down to this day that has been on our calendar for months and i am very excited to announce that on april 15th we traveled up to tulsa and found our bikes!

we went to the most awesome bike shop ever called g. oscars (i am so upset with myself for not taking a single picture of the place). the guy who owns it finds old bikes and fixes them up so that they run well and then sells them.  seriously though, if you need a bike and can make it to tulsa, you definitely should go! just remember to bring cash or check because he doesnt take credit. 

we ran out of gas on the way back. it was a bit amusing, but also added some to my stress level since it caused me to be late to a meeting. i enjoyed that it gave us some time to cruise around a parking lot on our bikes until someone was able to pick us up and take me back to allies though.

and here she is, the lovely penelope! i love her. i fought the intense wind and hills the other day and took her on a ride to campus corner. the first part of the trip was really difficult, but the second half was a breeze. anyone want to meet up at the library for some happy hour beers so i can take her on another trip?

she has a cute little white stripe on the back.

and there you have it. one of my main goals has been achieved! all i need to find is a super cute basket!

love.
