Colorful bikes will change your life or your bike receiver’s life. Get ready to feel the wind run through your hair on sunny days. A monotonous drive to work will be transformed into prime picnic location scouting. You will begin to notice quaint little parks in your city. Enjoy them! We gave our first colorful bike as a gift and every single member in the household bought one for themselves – creating the most entertaining bike gang. Let’s face it, you will end up buying one for yourself too. We have purchased all of our bikes from our local shop Republic Bike. Republic Bike offers two types of frames: the Aristotle, a minimal contemporary silhouette or the Plato Dutch frame pictured above.
For some reason traditional grown ups are harder to shop for. We find gag gifts can go either way so it is not worth the risk or the money. Hobby specific buys don’t get them as excited as family related gifts. So for this loving relative we are going to go for sentimental value = priceless. When we get this one right, we feel good – real good :D
