Pedal Power


I have me a new bike! We have also set up Simon's bike with a child's seat on the back for Danielle. Nathan's a bit of a whizz on his bike already, so we set off for our first family ride today. It was awesome! I haven't been on a bike for about 20yrs so it was a pleasant surprise to find that it wasn't as daunting as I expected (after all they do say you never forget lol) - even with those 24 gears to navigate around. I just loved cruising alongside the river paths and it was soooo easy. Nothing like riding my old Ten Speed back in the day. Simon asked how the seat was and I realised I hadn't even noticed the seat after an hours ride - guess that's the point, that it was the right one and comfy too!

Once we get a bike rack on our car I'll have to pop over sometime and we can go on a ride together;-)

Wendy, that would be so cool if we ever could - we can dream. Yep, Nathan taught himself to ride his bike just before his 4th b'day (we never had trainers pn it so we'd never taken him out for a proper ride) - surprised me one day by riding down the hallway saying "look at meeeee!" lol.
