A Bicycle Built for Three

For reasons unknown, I decided that it would be fun to find a bike and trailer and use that to get around with the girls this summer. So Adam and I headed to the local bike store's used bike sale, where we found (in his words) a really sweet bike for me. Then after scouring Craigslist for a couple of weeks, we found a nice trailer. It all came together last week, and I was able to take the girls for our very first ride.



We just went for a quick ride around the neighborhood, but it went pretty well (i.e. I didn't feel like I was going to die), so on Sunday afternoon we took a family bike ride out to Morrissey Park.

Getting ready to go - the girls are pretty excited about wearing their helmets



We made it! The girls were happy to get out and play, and I was happy to take a rest. I was feeling the burn!



Ah, those girls just love to climb!



After they played for awhile and we had a snack, it was time to head home. I'll admit, I wimped out and had Adam pull the trailer home. But it was a great start to what will hopefully be many family bike rides!
