One of the things I love about summer is the chance to get out and go for a ride on my pretty pink bike. And it’s even more fun when I have a friend join me and we breeze through town to get to a delightful park on the other side for a leisurely picnic and chat. There is something so wonderful about doing the things that you used to do as a kid. And we have a lot of beautiful bike trails in our city to explore!
I got my pretty new wheels about 5 years ago, and I try to get out as often as I can, but sometimes making a date with a friend is a sure way to make the ride actually happen.
On this day, I packed a picnic lunch for a friend and I to enjoy.
The picnic I created included simple sandwiches, cookies, green apples and strawberry lemonade with lots of ice in mason jars, and it all fit nicely into my bike basket.
We didn’t go for a very long ride, but it was nice just the same. And after spreading out a blanket, the munchies and the lemonade were perfect.
The pink lemonade was so refreshing. I included lots of ice! You have to have ice!
Have you had a chance to picnic this summer? I hope so!

Ohh your picnic looks great! And i love the bike!!! I need one with a basket too! 🙂 I love picnics in the summertime, I always feel like a sandwich or anything else just tastes so much better when you are eating it outside, having a picnic! 🙂
What a great picnic! Reminds of the days of being a kid when we would go on picnics.. Your bike is so pretty!.. It looks like you had a really wonderful time. Thank you SO much for sharing it with us..
What a pretty picnic – does that pink bike make everything look tastier or is it my imagination? I have been on one picnic this summer, but I have more planned.
Your picnic looks like so much fun!
Love your bike!!
It's been kind of warm here lately..we havent been on any picnics this Summer yet, but hope to very soon!
This is adorable. What a fun date it would be. 🙂
What a fun (and beautiful!) summer idea!
Angie,
Everything about this post is dreamy and makes me want to head out on a bike ride asap…the only thing is my bike isn't nearly as cute as yours and I don't have a bike basket in site. Great post! 🙂
