Description

My husband is an avid biker. I enjoy it in cooler weather but not a regular biker. We have always talked about getting a tandem bike. We learned in our biking together on separate bikes that we can’t hear each other talking, I can’t keep up with him, and he doesn’t get any exercise when biking with me.

So a couple years ago he bought us a tandem bike for our anniversary. We took it on its maiden voyage that weekend – when this photo was taken.

How do you like my handlebars? One of my complaints about todays bikes is they keep you leaning forward weight bearing on your wrists  Our wrists were not made for weight bearing and is quite uncomfortable, at least to me. Hence my great big tall handlebars. Should I tell you about my seat? smiles

When I ran across this artwork I knew I had to make it. But even with all the flowers, Albert asked where are the kittens. Smiles.

This collection includes 3 messages:

• We Ride Together
• We Belong Together
• Love Is In The Air

The large 8×11 design contains all 3 messages arched and  centered over the bike. Each one is a different thread color stop. Sew the message you want and simply skip the other two.

The messages are also included by themselves to add to the bike for smaller hoops.
