Las bicicletas

One of our hopes for living in Spain was to to be able to live without a car. We hoped to walk, bike and use public transportation as much as possible.

Torre Del Mar is not a big city. We can get around just about anywhere walking. But it does take a while, so we were eager to get bicycles. We were hoping to buy something second hand, but weren’t having much luck. Additionally, our current apartment does not have a garage or outside space for bicycles (so that means we need to store them in our small apartment). Further, a regular size bicycle will not fit in the elevator and we’re not going to carry them up 10 stories. So what to do?

Foldable bikes!

They can easily fit in the living room of our little apartment

We found some really affordable foldable bikes on Spanish Amazon that are made in Barcelona. They came in 2 days and were delivered right to our door (the Amazon guy actually brought them into the apartment). We don’t get that kind of service back home!

They just needed a couple of bolts tightened and a little air in the tires and we were off!

They can easily fit in the elevator
And unfold pretty quickly
There is a great bike path along the beach
Staying off the major roads by going down these small alleys is much more bike friendly

Now we can get everywhere a little bit quicker!
