Fat Girl Fit

Be fearlessly unapologetically you

Category: Cycling

Flowers for valentines? Nah! Pink bike? Erm ok then!

Whilst everyone received flowers and chocolates at the weekend for Valentines I got a new shiny bike! When I say shiny its not actually shiny as it is matt black but you get the picture.  The best part?  It has pink on it and I do love me some pinkness in any way shape or form.

The cycle club I am part of, Romford CC, are lucky to have one of their sponsors be Yellow Jersey Cycles in Billericay and the gentlemen in there were kind enough to get me the new Trek Silque SL 2015.  It is my very first carbon bike and I am expecting it to double my speed and event times – is that not how it works?

Four of the ladies in the cycle club managed to secure places through the ballot for the Prudential Ride London event in August and this year it is all about the ladies!

So here she is my new little pink beauty:

The friendly bear in the background is Nate – much thanks to him and Dan at the shop for sorting my new bike for me!

I best get out pedalling then!

We knew of Swedish fika before we moved, but since We knew of Swedish fika before we moved, but since living here we now know it is a super regular thing!.It is essentially a break, but it involves coffee (or in my case, tea) and some sort of baked goods. But, in addition to that it is a social activity and creates a moment to relax and reflect..We are now fika’ing our way around the Swedish cafes - link in bio to a blog post about some of our faves 🍰.#fika #fikapaus #fikatime #swedishfika #sweden #sweden🇸🇪 #östergötland #swedishliving #swedishlife #swedishlifestyle #expat #expatriate#scandi #thisgirlcan #fatgirlfit
