Recapturing the joy of biking

Have you heard about Public Bikes? A Cup of Jo has a terrific post about the company (and her recent purchase) but it certainly isn't the first I've heard of them in the last few weeks. The idea is simply inspired and encourages everyone to be a bit more conscious of how we get around in our lives. This is from their website/Facebook page...

'Our bikes have been designed around the style and principles of the classic city bikes of Europe, updated with new technology and modern materials, and adapted to the U.S. market' 

The bikes themselves are simply gorgeous and perfect for those who want a bike to get to their nearest public market or maybe for a leisurely Sunday afternoon ride. I'd love to know what my friends at soulrun think. I think it's an absolutely charming idea.
