The Tour de Nichada

When it comes to transportation, there's just SO MANY options. If we're in the mood for some grocery shopping, we like to ride in style - L.A. Bicycles, manufactured with pride (and some metal) here in Thailand.

My favorite part is heading out into the parking lot with the guy carrying our groceries. He inevitably heads for the rows of luxury vehicles, and I have to stop him and say "Go ahead and throw those into the basket on the front of that children's bike right there - that's how I roll!"

Then I usually explain that we could afford a large SUV if we wanted one, but our commitment to the environment dictates otherwise. And as we pedal back towards Danicha, sweating profusely and trying not to hit a pothole or get rundown by a tuk-tuk, we all feel so good inside knowing we're helping to preserve this world for future generations.
