BIKES!

We did so much walking our first week here.
Back & forth from campus, to the beach, grocery store, etc.
It got so tiring and hot walking in the sunny weather.
Of course, we've loved the Hawaii sun since the day we arrived!
But we didn't like sweating between every where we had to be.
So when all the other girls in our house arrived,
and had bikes parked below the house,
Jamie, Lindsi, & Natalie wanted their own.
We waited a few days to figure out
what kind of bikes we wanted & where the best prices were.
Last Saturday, we took a bus ride to Honolulu.
We purchased beach cruisers on clearance at Walmart!
Having bikes is worth every penny spent.

Black beach cruiser for Natalie.

Red for Jamie & blue for Lindsi.
We lock our bikes on this grocery cart under our house.
We heard buying bike locks is a must.
A local told us,
"One time I didn't lock up my bike & the next morning it was gone.
I saw a homeless man riding around on it a week later.
It was spray painted another color. Lock up your bikes!"


We finally took some pictures with our bikes
on the way to classes this morning.


We always have fun riding to campus together.
Having our bikes makes going to class fun!


We caught Cristina on her way home during her break.
Cristina is our roommate from North Carolina.
She graduated in '07 & this is her third semester here.
We already love her!



We'll be selling the bikes at the end of semester,
but for now we're having way too much fun.

Campus is surrounded by Palm trees.


One of the MANY bike racks on campus.


We love BYU-Hawaii.

  1. L, I used to ride your mom on the handle bars of a beach cruiser bike just like that when we were your age ... wow, were we ever your age? It was a bumpy ride for her and a proud ride for me to have such a hot handlebar decoration!

    I'm so glad you girls are having fun and enjoying life. Of course, you knew that two of my favorite phrases in your recent posts are: 'on clearance' and 'after we do our homework'. One seems a little more believable than the other. :) (LOL)
