For my last birthday, Paula got me a bike carrier for the truck, and yesterday, we went to some garage sales and found a great bike trailer. So, we decided to go out for a little ride. Paula came along for a walk and we all went out to some flatish trails in a nice natural area by a stream. It was a really pretty place, and it was really nice to get out to a bit of nature (except of course the misquitoes). I think that it took us longer to get everything together than the actual ride, but we had fun and Emma did great in the trailer. Since Kris usually rides more than I do, I think that next time I will have to find a way to convince Kris to let me attach it to his bike! Kris and I came to the conclusion that we really have not been riding enough and are a bit out of shape for it.
The only downside was that Paula does not have a bike. However, she took Kris’ bike for a spin (and hurt herself a bit), now she wants one too, so I am looking forward to some family bike rides this summer! We went looking for a bike for Paula after the trip, but did not find one that we liked. So, if anyone knows where I can find a nice pink cruiser with tassles on the handlebars, please let me know!
