My infatuation with bicycles started when Dane and I really started to get into watching Murder, She Wrote. I have always had this wish that I will someday live in Maine and have a cute white two story house and ride my bicycle to the shops and along the beach...obviously not on the sand. haha! I remember a time way back way when we lived in Tassie and I was about 9 and I really wanted a bicycle. So i asked my parents for one and they said I had to save up for it. So i use to sell my meat from dinner to my dad and get him to pay me to back him cookies. As for my mom nothing seemed to get that dollar out of her pocket. The time came when I felt like I had saved up enough for my bike so my dad and I went down to the bicycle shop and I quickly realized I would have to sell my meat for about 5yrs and bake cookies for my dad till i was about 21 till I could afford the bicycle I really wanted. Yes, my dad did intervene but not to buy the bicycle instead he pointed out a scooter...but NOT just any scooter it was a BMX scooter. At first I was far from interested and just wanted to burst into tears then he asked me if I knew how to ride a bicycle and I realized I didn't, and he obviously wasn't planning on teaching me so the scooter won my heart.
The reason why I think all three of us are so into bicycles now and also why they have become a major inspiration for our new project is because we were deprived of them as kids...haha. But then again we did move a lot and its kind of hard to take one on a plane.! And lets admit it they are pretty cool inventions.
Enjoy,
Drea.
