Dreaming of pretty bikes

I am more then a little obsessed with bikes at the moment as we are upgrading
ours and looking around for the 'perfect' bicycle.
I adore that in Europe the bikes are considered works of art
as well as transporters.
They are so incredibly comfortable and you can look
ever so elegant riding them.
The little red monarch below is mine.
I bought it the first day I arrived in Sweden in a second hand shop.
Her name is Mulberry and she is fabulously loyal, but I do have my eyes on something with a little more flair.
Mulberry will always be required for transporting visitors though!

  1. Lovely blog! And I love your bike post. Our little family has two cruisers with a trailer for the baby, and we love to go exploring the backstreets of our neighborhood on a summer afternoon.
