Sunshine biking

Today I will tell my story about my bike.

When I moved in Ploiesti, my wish was to have a bike and ride it every day to work. But I wanted, from the beginning a special one, good looking, fancy, comfortable, inspirational, easy to ride and a specific brand, Pegas Romania.

Pegas was produced in Romania since 1972 , a memorable moment when the first adult model came on the market.

The brand’s logo, the winged horse Pegasus, is borrowed from Greek mythology as a “symbol of poetic inspiration” and of courage, swiftness, and adventurous spirit. One of the plant’s slogans is taken from a letter written by French writer Gustave Flaubert: “Pegasus walks more often than he gallops; talent consists in making him take the desired pace.”

I managed to buy it, with some effort, and good feelings surrounded me when the delivery came to my door. I remember that year, august 2018, I participated in an event called “Tocuri pe bicicleta” (=Hills on the bike). Check my article here. At the end of the autumn 2018, our lives changed spontaneously by moving in Helsinki and I couldn’t fully enjoy my fun bike ride just for a short period!

Since we moved in Helsinki, my thoughts were how to bring the bike here with me. We managed to find a good transportation and in 2021 my bike arrived safe in Helsinki. I can’t express my happiness to have it again and fully enjoy it. People asking me on the street from where I bought it or simply saying how cool it is, solar and joyful. I am smiling and saying proudly that it’s a brand from Romania and managed to bring it here.

Any time when the opportunity comes, I take my bike and do my work or even just exploring Helsinki. I also started to create my own club called Urban Adventures and proposed weekly easy routes for a fun bike ride. My journey continues and decided to show you Helsinki and surroundings on the bike. I feel that nature has a different beauty perspective and I enjoy a lot (riding is fast, precious, fulfilling my heart and soul, refreshing, helping me for exercising and boost my energy by keeping me in the present moment). Cool, right?
