Instantly, I thought of a million places I would go on a bike like that! The freedom! The wind having its way with my hair. Me! Tooling down the road.
"You want a tricycle?" He asked.
He looked again at the senior citizen perched atop my fantasy ride. (She seriously was no more than 75).
"I'm afraid you need to be a little older to pull that one off."
Says the guy who doesn't even own a library card. How could he possibly understand?

OMG I TOTALLY want one of those too! A friend of a friend has one with a HUGE basket in back, and she made her 7 year old ride in it! Screw the library books, you guys can get matching ones and ride the kiddos around!
I so understand - my library card is one of my most prized posessions. And the ride, I drool for it - especially if I could just get on it and toodle on down the road to the libary. Man! The possibilities. How about the Farmers Market?
That's a sweet ride! I can see the attraction.
Oh, he'll think you're the cutest thing ever once he actually sees you on one!
I'm going to visualize my tricycle, just like the boy in The Secret!
I'm with you. We just moved. I can WALK to the library. I'm so excited. However, the trike is, well, trikish. Get a Vespa. Way cooler. :)
I can walk to the library too, but stop dissin' my bike Kim!
and what the hell is a vespa?
lol@sweet ride!
I get it. I see it. Sooo French. I saw women in Paris with those! Just throw a baguette in the back.
A Vespa is a European motorbike. Not a scooter. Not a motorcycle. A very cool in between. My brother and his partner have one for tooling around DC. Tres chic! Le trike n'est pas tres chic.... Sorry! ;)
The H in HT does not stand for hip.
Hey Michelle,
I think Kim just said you're not cool riding a trike.
Oh dear dear Kim,
Le Trike is so chic. It's just more bohemian chic than glam chic. Don't give up Michelle.
