I love my hometown, but after nearly four years of dating, I’ve run out of options of things to do. Bae and I were so tired of doing the typical date ideas. The movies honestly sucks because it never provides a real chance for great conversation until after the movie is over. The zoo is extremely played out. Everyone who has grown up in St. Louis is sick of the zoo. And the idea of dinner is great but fancy restaurants don’t match our college budget. But bae and I managed to have an AWESOME date for only $10!!!! YESSS ONLY $10, and we managed to get some exercise.

If you spend any time near Forest Park, the Central West End, or The Loop then you may have noticed green colored bikes randomly laying around. They’re fairly new to St. Louis and they are owned by LimeBike. You can simply download the LimeBike app to your phone, then enter the qued information and you’re ready to ride. The best part is it only cost $1 for 30 minutes.

So Bae and I walked around The Loop until we found two bikes and explored the city for an hour via bike. It was super fun, especially in front of the Saint Louis Art Museum! In front of the museum are huge hills that make you fly. The experience was mildly scary but mostly fun! And it only cost us $4!!!

Then we stopped in the Froyo and got a yummy, sort of healthy snack. All in all, we spent $10 for three hours of fun. The best part was it was something we had never done before. It also provided us an opportunity to explore our city with new eyes.
