Iranian Women Love Cycling
I am a British Iranian woman and I’ve been cycling the world for 2 years. I’m currently pedalling across Brazil my 16th country by bicycle. On the 10th September 2016 the Supreme Leader of Iran issued a Fatwa against women cycling in public. Before...
Party Frocks and Attachments
I gave up everything before I began cycling around the world. Correction. I almost gave up everything. I was able to break the attachment to my home and I gave it up. I was able to break my attachment to the wonderful contents of this home and I gave them up...
Last weekend we got the last of the preparations for baby completed and this weekend we made the most of being free of a massive to do list! Today we rode the Glentress trails and enjoyed 2.5 hours of cycling in nature and sunshine! Of course I was like a cycling Buddha climbing over 1000ft in my granny gear at 34 weeks pregnant lol. I just go really slowly so there is no strain or hard effort ... just gentle fun ... and I love every moment.
Yesterday we went to Glasgow for the Big Feed which was amazing with all different kinds of street food. It's back on every weekend. It was just so great to experience some normality again! I felt so safe as it's in a big warehouse with plenty of seating outside. Thoroughly recommend.
34 weeks pregnant! Can you believe it? The scans are suggesting she's 6.3lbs already! She likes her food just her mammy and daddy do lol. I really can't wait for her to be born to meet and see her! Maria is doing great and has stepped up her 24/7 security detail of me and the bump to being a shadow of us lol
Hope you are all well ... it feels really good to be enjoying life again after last year. I'm cherishing every moment.
All our love Ishbel, Steven, Maria & The Bump xxx
Me and the bump celebrated 32 weeks of pregnancy today by cycling 20 miles on my mountain bike! We cycled to collect Steven from work (he had commuted by bicycle) and we cycled home together. Funny how I struggle to put my pants and socks on due to bump but I can cycle no problem ... must look a right sight at this stage getting off my bike, locking it up and waddling away 😂 Tomorrow got a scan at hospital and Steven is allowed to come which is hugely amazing! I'll cycle to hospital too 😂.
