DH is part of a biking group that goes for 30+ miles every week. I rarely ride mine, especially with being pregnant this year (although my OB ok'd it). I am actually looking forward to riding some next summer when DD will be 3 and LO#2 should be big enough to ride in the trailer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218204 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 08:51:42 +0000 GrapeCrush 218204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we both do. DH is really into biking and triathlons so he bought me a bike so i could go on rides with him. mine is a cross between a road bike and a cruiser...DH has a really nice road bike. i haven't used mine all summer since LO is here. I'm thinking of asking the hubs to set it up on the trainer in the living room so i can ride while DS is sleeping </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218197 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 08:44:52 +0000 Alivoo01 218197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby and I own bikes, but I haven't ridden mine in quite awhile. I'm not a huge bike fan. Hubby on the other hand loves riding and owns a mountain bike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218063 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 22:08:47 +0000 matador84 218063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I own one but haven't been on it since last year I was on a bar crawl and got a flat tire during it! I was so over it then!</p> <p>DH loves his bike. I'll be making dinner and he'll be like, "I'm going out for a bike ride!" We live in an area with a lot of hills and canyons...I am always afraid he is going to hurt himself--he is a big kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218062 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 22:08:20 +0000 MrsBrewer 218062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: yea I would just want one to ride around my neighborhood. Nothing crazy. I think it might be hard for me to find one though I'm pretty short (5'2) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218058 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 21:58:27 +0000 Maysprout 218058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: If you just want a basic bike that's used then $100 is def doable - if you want something you can really ride well over rugged terrain or go out for hard road rides, then it's not doable.</p> <p>Even if you get it used I'd still test ride it first - if it doesn't feel good for your frame and fit you well then it's going to be a waste of money even if it's a 'good deal'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218053 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 21:55:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 218053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome that so many people have bikes! How much did you pay for them? I feel really cheap but I don't want to pay anymore than $100 for one. I would be happy to buy one used. Is this practical? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-218046 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 21:43:54 +0000 Maysprout 218046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We own too many bikes; For the last 7 years or so we've biked to work. We also road bike for exercise sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217980 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 19:29:27 +0000 mediagirl 217980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and I can't wait to get a bike seat when M is big enough for it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217933 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:53:48 +0000 SAHM0811 217933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I have a hybrid. DH's got stolen recently so he uses mine more as of late. He uses it to run errands around the nabe... We have a child bike seat too so DD1 goes for rides too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217913 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 18:23:37 +0000 Boogs 217913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Mine was stolen a while back when I lived with my mom and I never bothered to get a new one. We've been looking around to get DH one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217870 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:25:40 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 217870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! i got one for my birthday last year and i love it! the only thing is we live in a condo and even though we have a garage, it is a pain to get it in and out! we usually go on family bike rides...my hubs has a dog leash tether on his bike and i have lil' cb's bike seat on my bike. it is FREAKING hard pulling an extra 35 pounds (30 lb toddler + 5 or so lb seat), though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217868 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 17:22:49 +0000 sandy 217868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...haven't owned a bike since I was a kid but I would love to get a bike...i would be scared to ride with LO though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217861 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 16:59:16 +0000 Meridian 217861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an adorable seafoam green cruiser that DH bought for my birthday last year... I've only ridden less than 5x :( </p> <p>DH has 2 bikes and he rides to work whenever the weather is nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217798 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:50:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 217798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we each have our own beach cruiser and we also have a tandem beach cruiser we ride together.</p> <p>during the summer we go on a "beach cruise" at least a couple times a week. That has changed since having a baby though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217782 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:39:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 217782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ride to work when the weather is nice. DH and I ride together on the weekends. My bike is cute, red, and super old but I'm not worried that it'll get stolen if I park it on the street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217781 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:38:53 +0000 rattles 217781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We each have a Specialized road bike and hubs has a tricross as well. We used to go for a long ride a couple of nights a week in addition to getting around town. Now that I'm pregnant, it's less frequent. I feel like my center of gravity is wonky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217771 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:29:30 +0000 autumnlove 217771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a cute orange Electra Townie that I never ride anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217759 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:19:29 +0000 MrsBrewer 217759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: a pajama bike ride sounds like so much fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217753 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:13:14 +0000 heffalump 217753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does, but he rarely rides it. Maybe when LO gets bigger and can ride a bike we'll get me one too so we can all ride together.</p> <p>Currently I ride a bike once a year. We rent them at the camp ground and go for a pajama bike ride in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217749 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:09:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 217749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one. I've had it since I was 14. I ride the greenbelt trails a lot. My husband has a road bike and a mountain bike. I won't let him ride much until we get a bfp. Prolonged biking can effect sperm count, and since he had surgery to increase his I don't want to take any risks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217747 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:08:24 +0000 DillonLion 217747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Get yourself a cute little helmet and a new seat with that extra money ;) That's what I did. And gloves. And a tire pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217741 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:06:17 +0000 MrsBrewer 217741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: Nice! See I'm all for buying a bike on Craigslist, but DH doesnt want that, he only wants to buy them new. Maybe I will tell him I'll find one for me on Craigslist, and then I get the remainder of the money left over that I saved from buying it used! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217733 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:02:33 +0000 DillonLion 217733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I used to ride it all the time. Little nervous about hopping on the saddle during pregnancy, but I like riding my bike. DH found it on Craigslist for $25. It does the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-own-a-bicycle#post-217727 Wed, 11 Jul 2012 14:58:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 217727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I used to when we were younger, but through the years and moving, neither of us have a bike anymore! I always see people in my neighborhood riding their bikes, and I miss it! I think we are going to start looking for bikes! Plus it's a good way to get out and be active! </p> <p>Do you own a bike? Do you ride it regularly? </p>
