Bicyclette!

I got a bike this morning! Wandering through the Marche Mouffetard on Rue Mouffetard, one of the oldest and historic in Paris' 5th arrondisement, traced back to the Roman times! It was a lovely wander and a dream once I found my little bicyclette! Its a bicycle from the netherlands, a classic! Ive been thinking hard about getting a bike and how wonderful it would be to cruise to work in the morning rather than pack into a metro car like sardenes :) Now I get to imagine finishing the tour de France, riding through the arc de triumphe on a daily basis! (really Ill detour though, the roundabout at the arc is a swirling death trap on a bicycle! Dont worry mother :) 

Best part of the day was chatting to the nice man at the bike shop, Salim. He put air in my tires, set me up with a mirror, lock and a basket and told me he would have bought the bike for 6 times what I paid for it. Score! yes.

Im a happy girl :)

Life is good on a bicycle
