Show Notes
In terms of life’s enjoyable activities, riding a bike seems to be on top of that list. Some ride bikes for fun, others ride bikes to get to school and to work. Some buy fancy clothes and equipment, some just hop on. Little kids learn how to ride bikes, and adults love to ride bikes. It only seems fitting that we have an episode to honor those who ride bikes.
Dialogue
A: Quer andar de bicicleta no calçadão hoje?
B: Quero. O dia tá lindo!
A: E mamãe ainda deu dez dólares para comprar chá gelado.
B: Aqui: se o chá gelado for só um dólar, ainda dá pra comprar um bagel*.
A: Humm, e a gente pode tomar o chá no banquinho de frente pro mar.
B: Ótimo! Vamos logo! Deixa só eu trocar de roupa.
A: Vou calçar o sapato. E botar filtro solar, claro.
B: Deixa só eu tomar uma água antes da gente sair.
A: Do you want to go on a bike ride on the boardwalk today?
B: Sure. The weather is really nice.
A: I even got ten dollars from mom to buy iced tea.
B: Hey, if iced tea only costs a buck, maybe we could get a bagel too.
A: Ooh and we can drink it on the bench overlooking the ocean.
B: That sounds great! I can’t wait to go. Just let me get changed.
A: And I’ll put my shoes on. And sunscreen, of course.
B: I’m just gonna drink some water before we go.
