Barnebey and Me

Posted on April 15, 2015 | 28 Comments

 

Wind in my hair

feeling wild and free

flying down the road

just Barnebey and me

 

Not a cloud in the sky

warm sun on my back

to destinations unknown

we may never come back.

I know this is really silly, but I’m feeling rather silly at the moment.  I went for my first bike ride of the season yesterday and it was so wonderful.  It was a gorgeous day and it felt so great to be back on my beautiful, blue bike again, I was smiling the entire time.  The people I rode past probably thought I was high.  And I guess I was – flying high on my blue cloud.  😉

And the high is just beginning… I have lots of things planned with Barnebey this summer, both pleasurable and practical, and I’m really looking forward to it.  It’s supposed to be lovely weather again today, so a little while later we’ll be off to the library together, as my book is overdue, oops!

From there, I have no idea where we’ll end up, but it’s sure to a beautiful journey.  Barnebey and me.

Thanks for letting me share my silly poem and a bit of the joy I find in my riding my bike.  May your journey today be filled with joy and beauty, and with…

    I love this post Julie. Your joy of flying high with Barnebey is delightful and infectious. Now I’m ready to take Mr. Felt out for a spin, but we’ve had several rainy days. I too find much joy in riding my bike, sailing through the wind, time and space. to play and bike riding! 🙂

      Thanks so much, Brad! I love ‘infecting’ other people. With joy, of course. 😉 I’d be interested to hear the story behind how/why your bike is named Mr. Felt…
      Yes, to play and bike riding!
      Hope the rainy weather clears up for you soon! 🙂

        I borrowed your method. It is a “Felt” brand bike that I bought a few summers ago while in Madison WI, which is a great town for biking!!!! 🙂

        Copycat! 😉 My bike is actually a Fuji brand bicycle, but the model is the Barnebey and that sounds more like a name. ‘Mr Felt’ is funny! I’ve never been to Madison, but it’s only about 4 hours from here. Minneapolis is a great town for biking as well. Or so I’ve heard – I still need to find out for myself. 🙂

    Delightful poem – I was sailing right along with you! Maybe you should sell it to the manufacturer – it’s the best advertisement!

    Barnebey is such a beautiful shade of blue! I’m glad you’re able to spend time together again. Bike riding has the same freeing effect on me. Enjoy the sunshine and Barnebey!

      Thanks, isn’t he though?! Such a bright and cheerful shade of blue, it makes me happy! 🙂
      I know you and I share a mutual love for bike riding, I hope you’ve been able to get out there on yours. And I also hope the weather is nice there for you too. Mostly sunny and 70 are what we’ve been having lately, it’s freaking wonderful! ❤
