Biking with my mom

My mom bought a new bike today (this one in blue). This is the bike she has been stalking all summer but she waited until closer to her birthday because Eric and I said we would buy the accessories for her birthday. She has never had a brand new bike before. I don't think she has ever had a bike that was the right size for her frame (my mom is 5'3"). So when I got home we on the greenway to my brother's house and then to Target. On the way back she turned on her lights and was so very cute about them. It was only 4 miles of riding but that is all she wants to do. Ride to the store and back. Maybe to the train to go to work when it is nice out.

She is so cute.

Get one! I like my bike, but Mpls has a lot of good trails.

Your mom is awesome. I hope her bike has a bell.

No! She forgot to get a bell! Don't worry, Eric will be buying her one.

She got super cool lights and will be getting a helmet tonight.

She got a cage and a bottle.

She is going to try and make her own bag since the one she wants is $300.
