i'd like you to meet...

KIKI!!!! she is all ready and is actually a bike! yipppeeee!!! i knew her name would be kiki a couple months ago even before i road her. my little nugget of a niece calls me kiki and it melts my heart every time she utters my name that i thought it a perfect fit for my new bike! plus i love kiki's delivery service and i like to think that my new ride is kinda like my broom ;D
couldn't leave this gem out of the bunch!
we took her for a spin around the neighborhood, thru the park, downtown to get gelato and iced tea and then back home. she rides a bit different than mary and it will take me a bit to get used to her but she is super smooth and her nice big tires make for a comfy ride.

i can't wait to get to know her and go on many adventures with her! she looks so pretty with her skinwall tires and her pretty brooks saddle and black leather grips. i want to add a pop of red by adding a brass red bell and then getting a baby blue water bottle holder....she is going to look so cute!


well...let me tell you! i LOVED my surprise post so much! you guys are so funny and it was really fun to read your comments....soooooo....without further ado...drum roll please.......the winner is....KELLY-ANNE!!! holy crap! kudos for thinking outside the box and being super creative!! if you have not read her answer check it out here. i laughed so hard upon reading this BUT after the judges (the mister & i) consulted we have disqualified her due to nepotism so we have decided to have two winners!! the 2nd winner is.....AMBER BLUE BIRD! congrats ladies! amber email me your address so that you can collect your prize! kelly-anne... you shall reap your prize once you squirt that baby out so get squirting! love you!

 anywho...have a great and safe 4th of july!! i am about to roll out to hang out with friends and enjoy some nice cold beer and blow shit up! well maybe not the later but i love saying that on this day!

peace,
cb

    Haaa, funny face made me laugh so hard! Thank you for not leaving it out! And i knew you´d look stunning in that dress, like it was made for you! Oh and your broom(!) is adorable, too, i love all the shiny chrome stuff! And i have to say it now: you remind me so much of my mum from pictures when she was in her twenties, take that as a compliment please :)

    Happy 4th Lovely Lady! I loooove that bike! I am getting much stronger and really getting excited for getting a bike again! I would like to get one as a gift for myself one I lose 30 more lbs. That would be a comfortable weight for long bike rides...not to mention...it keeps me motivated when the lbs drop off so slowly! Hee hee! Hearts, janna lynn

    Love your new bike! She is so pretty! I think we might be getting bikes soon (finally!) because I always say how I want one so I can ride it to the park.
    I hope you had a good 4th with friends! xoxo

    I just got my very first "adult" buke too!!!! Mine is burgundy and I am pretty sure his name is gonn abe Norman, but I haven't 100% decided. LOL I will have to do a biking post so you can see him and tell me what you think his name should be :) hahaha
    Glad you had a good ride - you need a basket and some tassels! :)
    Cheers,
