Anyway, I was in Hawaii!
Ate delicious food....
Truly appreciated the beauty and strength of nature....
And then did fun things like ziplining....
So I suppose bikes weren't exactly the first thing on my mind. There were plenty of them around, though! Especially cruisers, of course. And I don't recall ever seeing an empty bike rack.
Love this one... especially the funky chainguard...
Interesting cockpits....
Gorgeous colours....
And, sadly, bikes that needed lots of love....
Maybe that grip placement makes it easier to stand off the saddle cuz I sure as hell wouldn't wanna put my ass there.
There were lots of bike lanes but many of them were either in the door zone or ended abruptly. I suppose people just bike on the shoulder in that case. Better than nothing?
These touristy areas seem to be the perfect location for bike shares. Kailua had one but we unfortunately didn't have the time to check it out. But what better way to get around and really explore the area than by bike! Being on a bicycle allows you to really take in your surroundings, much more so than if you're stuffed into a fast-moving car. Hopefully bike shares will have made their way to other cities as well by then.
All in all, a great trip. Thought I could maybe live in Hawaii forever but the cockroach trying to break into our luggage made me yearn for bug-killing, Canadian cold! Plus, what would I do without knitting mittens in the winter??
