My New Bike

So. I've been bombing around town on a bike thats waaayyy too big for me .It's a free bike they were giving away in my building so I've just been putting up with it.
But after a lot of ribbing from a couple friends I decided to buy a project bike to convert into a cute run about town city bike. So here it is.

Its a 1985 Norco Monterey. Made in Japan . Small ,light in pretty good shape. I'm going to swap out the handlebars for 'granny ' style upright bars and get a leather saddle. Chrome fenders(ok mud flaps) and a bell!

I have been inspired by website I stumbled upon ...Copenhagen Chic and by this article.

I test rode a couple of imported Dutch bikes but they are HEAVY! I think they weigh more than me!....which is fine if you're cruising along a dyke but going up some of the steep hill of Vancouver would not be fun. The idea is not to get sweaty in your cute dress and heels!

Norma and Me ...Norma and Me

Norma and me went....out for evening walk/run/hill workout. I do a better job of fake walking for the camera.

sleeping beauties

This is the first time the 2 knuckleheads have slept on the same chair. Jeero the ugli doll is there to keep an eye on them.
Came home from Hornby Island to discover that they both have ringworm. Ug. Have to get that cleared up pronto as they are supposed to go to kennels in July when Im in Montreal!

eeww

So this is the yukky ringworm patch on Tesas ear. Mouse has a tiny one over her eye. Its just a fungal infection not actually a worm... but it is quite contagious (or is it infectious?) ..hmm suddenly I feel itchy!
