Date Night on Three Wheels

We don’t do fancy date nights anymore (did we ever?) — we do Christiania Bike date nights.

I’ll admit, when we drive, Peter usually takes the wheel. But when we bike, I’m just as happy in the driver’s seat — or the passenger seat — depending on the mood and the hills. The electric assist keeps things fair; no one can claim the hard job anymore.

There’s no traffic, no parking hunt, and no rush. We roll through the neighborhood, chatting and critiquing houses like we’re on our own design tour.

Sometimes we bring the kids home dessert. Sometimes we take the long way back just to be out a little longer — and to see how many looks we can get. People either look jealous or think we’re completely crazy. Either way, date night feels a lot more fun on three wheels.
