Christine recently visited various spots in the Illinois countryside by bicycle. She wanted to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather and visit some of her favorite spots in the country. She took a break under her favorite tree and was serenaded by birds, then headed to a lavender farm to pick up some of the fun items they had for sale. She finished the day relaxing in the shade at her favorite winery and even had room in bags to bring home some bottles. It was a wonderful day and she’s looking forward to many more like it this summer ☀️🍷🌳

Christine has a Trek Bicycle Marlin 5 named Gertie. In the five years she’s had her, they have enjoyed almost 12,000 miles together 🙌

Sarah’s red Felt Bicycles bike with rear rack and panniers was up to the task for a recent trip to Platt Hill Nursery. She needed to pick up some irises and a couple other plants for landscaping in her yard. The panniers and a string bag were up to the task!

Our friend, Terry, is back to inspire adults and children to go by bike! He recently pedaled his Specialized Bicycles Tricross to MO’s Gyros in Bartlett to pick up supper. Bartlett’s new and repaved side paths make it easy to bike to all of the neighborhood eateries 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻

One month not driving saves enough for a family meal. Terry passed a gas station along the way without having to fill up. $4.57 a gallon! 😳😱🙀
