I just bought a bike!

Lol! Ok I know I shouldn't be skipping ahead but I just wanted to say that I JUST BOUGHT A BIKE!!!!! And it is a little bit hilarious. You see, I am kinda short and stupid at riding bikes so can't seem to ride any of the bikes I've looked at cause I cannot reach the ground or else the handle bars are super far away and it's all just a bit silly. I've tried quite a few without luck and it became clear I would need a bike with a small frame.

Today I got in touch with someone who was selling a bike which was a 20inch bike which I figured should be a little smaller seeing as most bikes seem to be around 27 or 28inches. When I got there, I found that it was actually a little kid's old BMX bike!!!! LOLLLLL!!!!!! But what could I do? I mean, it was still too big so they had brought tools and they adjusted the seat down for me and lo and behold - I can ride it!

I am now the proud owner of the smallest bike in the entire Flogsta (I reckon) - a kid's black BMX bike complete with those little bars on it so you can do tricks! Now to deck it out with a basket, and a bell!

This is a photo of the bike from the site I was looking at:


What was the first thing I did after I bought it? In typical Annie-style, I accidently broke the front light off.....because I thought it was detachable! ....yeah... oops.

I'll post photos of it tomorrow when it is daytime! It looks really quite funny next to all the adult bikes in the row at the bike rack...

That is a very Annie bicycle I reckon! I think that some of those reflective plastic flowers would go beautifully on the spokes and of course dangly tassles on the handlebars. The epitome of cool!
