Bike On Mum 3 - It Is Here & It Is JUICY

January 31^st – I wasn’t in the greatest mood when today. It had been a long hard day at the office. I walked in our back door and there right in front of me was my new Kona Lisa RD.

Usually he can’t keep a good secret, so it was a wonderful surprise when I walked through the door and there it was in all its glistening splendour. I saved a bit of money getting Tim to assemble it, and he had it fully accessorised as well: bottle cages, pedals, seat bag with tools and a tube, bike pump, and lights.

I went out for little ride, got freaked out as pedals were quite different as were the gears and brakes etc. Tim caught a bit of that on video before I told him to stop.
