I love these sunny days with a brisk, cold wind but lovely, blue skies!
I still get lots of waves from strangers and cheerios – always put a smile on my face.
Comments:
Is that the Rolls Royce of tricycles?
It comes with a water bottle holder!
Shiny!

Looks comfy and easy to ride.
That’s great for us oldies – you’re too young to be on one of them!

My new trike now takes me on a higher ride, very comfy and it’s still the best feeling of the wind blowing on my face. Freedom!
Love the Queensland Lace tree near the Rotunda in Portarlington (in flower – April).

From the movie “Return to Me” starring  David Duchovny and Minnie Driver part of the film is in Rome and 3 nuns saw the red, shiny bicycle and one of them was very impressed with the bell, rang it and said:

Ogni volta che una campana suona un angelo mette le ali

Also from the 1946 classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring James Stewart and Donna Reed

A little girl heard a bell on the christmas tree and said

Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings!

They can be a fun item to choose when buying one and come in handy to ring when someone is waiting anxiously for you to get back home.

Jessie Blu and I have enjoyed the views and fresh air of Portarlington for over a year now. Thanks to Jessie Blu I have been shopping, riding for fun/exercise and gone on a few picnics with friends and family.

Jessie Blu is now a little rusty and could do with a new basket! However, Jessie Blu is ready for a new home. Someone to go out on more shopping trips and out and about more!

Jessie Blu will bring someone much happiness and exercise!

]]> Wear a helmet? /53/ Sun, 10 Feb 2013 11:54:10 +0000 /?p=53 Where is the helmet?

Check with your local government about laws in your area.  For safety reasons, it is best to wear a helmet.

]]> A Trike for Harold /a-trike-for-harold/ Sun, 10 Feb 2013 01:28:49 +0000 /?p=10 One day I was out riding my trike and Michael was on his bike zooming along on the service road. We were half way back from the post office in Portarlington which is about 3K round trip from home. I could see an elderly gentleman “rushing” out his front door, waving frantically as if to stop me as well as just saying hello. So, I got off my trike just out the front of his garage and he was still hurrying toward me. I thought he was just going to say hello. He was so excited he started telling me, he had been waiting ages – since we went past to go in to town. He wanted to make sure he stopped me to find out where he could get a trike like mine!

As we kept talking I told him how I found mine on the Internet and if he wanted me to, I would go home and see if I could find one for him. What are the chances?

We introduced ourselves and Harold told us he is 84 and was an amateur racing cyclist but now finds it difficult to balance!!

Oh I found a trike for Harold that same day, I printed the information and rode down on my trike to give it to him the next day! Needless to say he was grateful and after calling the people, he organised to pick it up (from Melbourne) and he put the trike together himself in less than a week. Two weeks after we first met, he brought his shiny new trike around to show us!!!

There are now two of us in Portarlington riding a trike with a smile and a wave!
