I spent several days riding that path while taking a little vacation to Venice Beach in March. Our AirBnB had a couple bikes and we did nothing but ride - no rental car - with a couple hill hikes and some breweries thrown in for good measure. Loved it. I love bikes too!

So, by 2017 I'd broken two old steel bike frames. And considering the parts I'd removed to upgrade on my current ride at the time, I figured I had about two and a half bikes worth of components sta... Lire la suite

Love this! My bike is called Big Red too and we are also great friends. We've been together for 12 years, she's seen me through 20,000 - 30,000km of commuting and day-to-day transport. Though being a step-through bike with 3 gears, I'll certainly never ride the length of Te Waipounamu on her!!!
