Bikes In Kailua

Posted on 26. Jun, 2011 by Dan Zelikman in Wanderer

There is something pure and enjoyable about riding a bike.

You learn to appreciate it as a kid – but as soon as you own a set of car keys that appreciation gets lost. Lately, Kim and I have been trying to get it back.

Today we drove the Jeep to Kailua, a quaint beach town on the eastern shore of Oahu. Kailua offers (among other things) world-renowned breakfasts, beaches, ocean-kayaking and a bike-friendly atmosphere. For those of you living in Honolulu or Waikiki, you can understand why we took the trip to enjoy a day of riding bikes.

It was a simple day really – we rode around the town and admired different homes. We talked about owning one someday – from the over-the-top mansions to the fixer-upper. We stopped at a couple of beaches and snapped a few photos.

At the end, we topped off a relaxing day of bike riding with a feast fit for a King. Buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks and potato skins – accompanied by a couple of pints of course.

I couldn’t have asked for a better Sunday.
