Low rider bicycle day

Yesterday we participated in a low rider bicycle class. Nina always wanted to try these bikes and this was the perfect opportunity to ride the bikes for a couple of hours.

After a short introduction to the history of these bikes we tried to ride them ourselves. In the beginning it was quite difficult. It felt so different from the usual bike and it was hard to keep the balance but after 10 minutes we were able to ride without falling or stopping. So the teacher decided we were ready for a bike trip! We biked 2-3 hours and after a while we started to feel comfortable on the bikes that were so shaky and instable in the beginning. When we returned from the trip we felt relatively safe and stable on the bikes. It even felt strange to ride a normal bike afterwards, all of the sudden we were so high again.

It was so much fun to ride them, Nina would buy one right away. Unfortunately, these bike are really expensive. But maybe someday
