Exurb loves…errand-running bikes
One of our contributors recently got this pink Electra Townie as a birthday present from her hubby and son. At first, she admitted, she knew more about parking strollers than parking bikes. A trip or two to the grocery store, though, and she’s a pro. The idea isn’t that we can save the planet by riding a bike to the pharmacy or bank. The idea is that it’s FUN! When was the last time you had a blast doing your errands? Out here our favorite bike shops are Westlake Cyclery and Newbury Park Bike Shop.
Not to be a downer or crimp your style, but we have to issue one safety reminder: just because you opt for the cruiser or the three-speed with a basket, doesn’t mean you don’t need a bike helmet. You want to have fun but you don’t want to be minivan roadkill, right?
