Exploring Charlotte by bike ٩( ᐛ )و

Hi! ٩( ᐛ )و

Welcome back to another video where I explore Charlotte! In today's video we will see footage of a few bike rides that I went on in the past week. We will check out two of Charlotte's most affluent neighborhoods; Eastover and Myers Park. Then, we will attend an Intro to Beekeeping class at Urban District Market. After that, we will ride to work from Plaza Midwood into South End, before ending the week by going to Snug Harbor for Karaoke. In every case, I could have driven my car; but I'm making the choice to ride my bike instead. My hope is that maybe I can inspire you to commute by bike, too! Especially if you live in Charlotte, NC.

I really appreciate you watching! Subscribe to follow along and see more rides of Charlotte. I intend to upload as often as I can with new routes and fresh things to see in the Queen City.

Thanks for tuning in (◕‿◕✿)
I LOVE YOU.

If you're curious: We shared a Buffalo Chicken Dip with chips for an appetizer; I got the Firecracker Blackened Salmon Wrap with a side of black eyed peas; Matt got a Pimento Cheese Burger with onion rings for a side. Everything we got was absolutely delicious, and I'm still dreaming about the Buffalo Chicken Dip. And the onion rings. Wow. Yeah, I highly recommend that you go there.
