We have been married since 2001 and had little man in 2003. We live in Florida about 20 miles away from Tallahassee in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in a nice subdivision. Cyclingchicken is a stay at home mom who home schools and Dadabean works for the county mowing.

We live a car free life.  Our car died awhile back and due to financial reasons we didn’t get another one. Cyclingchicken has made it by bicycle before, but now she is making the switch permanent. She likes the benefits of riding around, such as more energy and smaller size clothing. She has a 1980 woman’s Raleigh DL-1 Tourist. Dadabean commutes back and forth to work on his Raleigh DL-1, as well as, leads us on many long exploring adventures. He has enjoyed cycling since his teenage years.

We have a backyard flock of about 40 chickens give or take a few. We never thought we would get addicted, told ourselves that we would only have a small flock. It really was just going to be a flock of 8 and no more. We raise them  for eggs, meat and our personal enjoyment. They make great pets and have wonderful personalities. We can and do, sit outside for hours and just watch them.  It has been a real learning experience, plus a great ongoing project that caters to Dadabean’s building and problem solving side. 

Cyclingchicken likes to read, knit, go hiking, cook and take naps. Dadabean likes to tinker with the bikes, work on the chicken pen, read, tease his wife unmercifully, and occassionally gets in a nap as well.
