Around the Block with SixThreeZero Bikes

Bike riding was one of my favorite hobbies growing up. It still is, but I found that hobby challenging without an actual bike. I got mine stolen a few years ago and always got bummed out when I saw people riding bikes up and down our street. I learned how to ride a bike on a “big girl bike”… aka, mountain bike. There was no tricycle for me, no training wheels. I even taught my nephew how to ride a bike. So, I’m determined to have P fall in love with bike riding, too. I’ve even told my husband that I want to be the one to teach her how to ride a bike. He can teach her all of the other sports if he wants to, but bike riding is a mommy thing! I can’t do any of the above without an actual bike though, so I recently got a SixThreeZero bike!

I had seen a few SixThreeZero models on Instagram in this past year and fell in love with the style of the Around the Block model. (I’ve got a discount code for you! 10% off of your SixThreeZero bike when you use the code ROCIO10) It’s a 7 speed bike with an easy pass through frame that makes hoping on and off of the bike incredibly easy. The seat itself is so comfortable! I was just talking to my sister the other day about how bikes can be a real pain in the behind sometimes depending on the seat itself. This one has good cushion and I’ve never had an issue with back or bottom pain while riding. I really enjoy the convenience of the handle brakes and the back of the bike has a rack that makes transporting items easy! I can hook up a basket and put my diaper bag on it for rides in the park with baby P!

Now, obviously solo rides are great – but rides with my baby are better! I went scouting the SixThreeZero website to find tips on riding with babies, and I found a few suggestions on baby carriers for this specific bike model. I went with the WeeRide LTD Kangaroo Child Bike Seat and Penelope LOVES IT! It’s a front ride and I feel safer knowing that I can see her. The seat along with her cute baby bike helmet make for a fun and safe ride!

Seriously, every single time that Penelope sees mommy’s bike, she gets SUPER excited and starts clapping her hands because she knows it’s time for a ride together! If I ever need to ride alone, I just have to make sure she doesn’t see me, otherwise she’ll have a meltdown. I guess that’s a good thing? I guess I HAVE gotten her to love bike riding as much as I do! Who knows!

I’m probably going to update Lance’s bike soon. He’s had it since his teenage years, but he’s maintained it pretty well. The other day we went riding as a family and he tried to do some tricks on it that he used to do when he was younger. (God I hope he isn’t reading this lol) My poor husband fell flat on the ground! Scared me half to death! I’ll blame it on the old bike, not his rusty skills – haha! I think it’s safe to say he won’t be teaching P how to do those tricks any time soon!

I did capture a bike ride with P the other day in a YouTube vlog if you’d like to check that out! You can see just how excited she gets when she sees the bike! I also shared a discount code for you all! If you use the code ‘ROCIO10’, you get 10% off of any bike you purchase through SixThreeZero.com! There are tons of bikes to choose from, and tons of color options as well. Seriously, something for EVERYONE!

Happy Riding!

Un Besito,
Rocío Isabel
