Bicycle Commuting…..

May 15th, 2008 · 8 Comments

Here I am with my two boys..My helmet’s a little crocked and my hair is flying everywhere (prolly cause I couldn’t find my Bondiband!) but we ride all over town like this. That bike trailer holds two bags of groceries, toys, bottles of water and two kids! They are good for a few miles at a time- to the park, to the market, to the bank, AND as long as there is no hair pulling or biting everybody is happy.

My friend Penny does the same only she is seriously FASTER than me! (Between my kids and the trailer, I am hauling 100 pounds..her kids are much smaller…but, I’m not competitive or anything.)

It’s Bike To Work Week People, so get out there and ride. Doesn’t matter what kind of bike you ride, so do one less errand in your car and save yourself some gas money!

    Rachel is riding a 2000 GT Zaskar (not the LE version) that she received as a wedding present from her beloved (me). It recently was largely ignored in favor of the road bike until its utility was rediscovered last year.

    Cool trailer. That’s so awesome that you ride around town like that…for grocery shopping and everything. Good for you!

    This reminds me that I really should get a bike someday. We’ve got beautiful trails out here (and sidewalks for that matter) that I’m just wasting. Biking to work isn’t really an option, but I’d love to bike other places.

    wow, 100lbs huh? you just rock Rach! What weight/age does that max out at for the kids?

    The Burley D’Lite maxes out at 100 pounds. I have a different brand so I’m pretty much at capacity!
