We have been wanting to buy bikes for our family for a long time. It was just never the right time and the funds always needed to go somewhere else.
...Well, we finally decided to go for it!
It was a long day in the bike shop trying to find the perfect fit for me, and for Chris, and also pick out a bike trailer. We also ended up buying a bike attachment so Henry could ride in back of Chris' bike while he was riding. We finally got everything picked out and we were able to go on a ride that evening. It was so much fun! I think this is something that can really bring our family together as the years go by. Henry was absolutely thrilled! He loved riding with Dad and this has been a special thing that just they do together. I have also loved going out with the kids in the morning. It can be a lot of work pulling two kids, but I am getting stronger and healthier all the time:).
Good for you guys!!! Your bikes are so lovely and shiny. ;-) We bought our first (and only, so far) bike trailer off of ksl when we lived in our apartment in Bountiful and we have been SO grateful for it these past few years--even though it's falling apart these days. We LOVE family bike rides! Now Sophie and Ingrid ride their own bikes and we pull the boys in the bike trailer. I also have a little bike seat on the back of my bike that Gunnar sometimes rides in. It IS a lot of work to pull them, though! The kids and I rode our bikes four miles (round trip) to the library a few months ago and I was so proud of myself for pulling the boys AND a huge bag of heavy, heavy books. Whew! It's a good work-out and so, so fun. You've got years of fun family adventures ahead of you!
