New Biking Plan

As my new nanny job is about to start, and will be taking up all daylight hours of my days for the next few months, I was troubled with the dilemma of how I would fit my bike riding in. Well, I decided to research stationary exercise bikes, and was surprised at how cheap you can get them. So, after looking at a few and reading reviews, I just ordered myself an exercise bike.... so I will be able to sit in front of the TV and bike in the evenings. I'm excited!

  1. Did you consider a Mag Trainer?

    On the subject of bikes, do you ride much and do you think we will get bikes in Africa? (I am going to Botswana)

  2. It depends on the country. If you got your invite already, it should mention whether you will be biking and if you will be receiving a bike. For Zambia, we will be required to do a LOT of biking (up to 40km) and every volunteer is issued a bike and helmet. If they didn't mention it in your Botswana welcome book, then my guess is that you won't be getting one.

  3. I went! I talked to her a little bit afterwards and she is fabulous :) i'm only sad that I didn't meet her sooner. I'm so happy to know PC ppl in town now instead of just on the interwebs.
