The Pod

Josh and I have been wanting a bicycle trailer for a long time. Finally, with the help from my Unk' Larry, we now own one!! Josh regularly rides to work in Spring and Fall when weather permits. I, on the other hand, can count on one hand how many times I've been on a bike in the last 5 years. Last year during our trip to Yosemite we rented bikes and I knew that I would love riding our bicycles more when we got home. Since the kiddos are too young (or just not experienced bike riders) to ride their own bikes along side us, we decided a bike trailer was just what we needed! 

I love it!! Our family loves the American River Bike Trail and we walk it fairly often, but how fun to ride BIKES on it! I love the breeze, I love the speed, and I love that it's a fun way to exercise and that the kids can join us. :)  It's the cutest thing riding along side the trailer seeing their two cute little heads bobbin' from side o side taking in the sights and sounds.

Yay for Spring(!) and sunny days along the river.

Mazzy looks as though she's passed out, right? Really she'd blocking the sun from her face, urging us to GET ON WITH THE PICTURE TAKING, ALREADY!!!

Oh you all are so cute! And love the helmets....safety first! Awesome way to spend the weekend and get some exercise!

We have one too! We should totally do a ride together, go to Discovery Park (or something) and have a Creeger/Silack picnic. OMG, that is so totally a good idea, if I do say so myself. ;-)

Erin: When mom saw the pic she said, "How cute you both are wearing hats. She's so cute. :)

Ali: Um, yes. Like next week on Spring break....maybe Monday or Friday?

Alison said...

Oy, Monday and Friday are not good for us. Monday, I will be coming home from Maggie's bachelorette party in SF and Friday is the wedding!! Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday? Stephen's trying to change some of his vacation days so he can get the whole week off.

Kerilyn said...

Hee. Not Friday, obvs.

Kerilyn said...

Bummer! We have H those middle days and your in Sebastapool this weekend, right?

Alison said...

Yup. :-( Well, let's plan it for an upcoming weekend then, k? I think it would be totally fun.

Kerilyn said...

Alrighty! Great idea btw. :)

Oh, you guys look great out there! So sporty and good looking. What fun! Some of my fondest childhood memories are riding my bike with my dad on the AR bike trail and to sac state, our favorite weekend excursions together. I never got to be a passenger in a trailer though, how neat for the littl'ens!

Rick is awesome. Growing up I so admired your relationship with your father. So loving he was to you. It was precious to see. Does he still change your oil, or is that mark;s job now? ;)
