Dreaming of a summer filled with bikes with baskets in parks ...

So - it's freezing and the heater is struggling to keep the house warm so I'm dreaming of using parks for picnics and being outdoors. I have also just taken possession of a new pair of Camper boots that need some stylish excursions that make them look practical. They would be perfect on board a fine bike with a thermos of soup in the front basket.

Here in the beautiful Yarra Valley, Victoria Australia we have a wonderful addition - Swedish Bikes. They are things to fawn over ....

Skeppshult Bikes really are design masterpieces. I'm not sure if can even still ride a bike but I tell you - these things make me want to try.



The Mud Factory gives you some suggested bikes tracks to use around Healesville. They look like such a great city bike I'm not sure how this will go but I'm going to try and I'll let you know.
