Bike Rides

For Mother’s Day in 2005 I asked for and received a bike and a trailor.  It was so fun to ride around, pulling the kids in the trailor.  [The soreness the next day was not as fun, but it got easier.]  At the time we only had one vehicle so the bike and trailor enabled me to go around town independently.  So nice!  Then I got pregnant and the bike and trailor had to sit for a while.  It waited through the pregnancy, through the baby not being able to sit, and through my 4 yr old learning to ride a 2 wheel bike [I couldn't fit 3 in the trailor].

 Now we can ride again!  My son is doing well.  It was kind of nerve racking the first couple times, but he is doing much better with the rules of the road now.  We go to the library, to the store that has penny candy, to the place Daddy works [the other day we took cookies and had a snack with him!] , to our friends house, etc.  It is fun, and it is exercise for my son and I - the girls just ride.  Sometimes we go when my husband can go along and he pulls the trailor for me.  What a difference not pulling 70 pounds makes!

Today I saw this advertisement for a child’s stationary bike.   It even hooks up to the TV so the child can do “learning” games while they ride.  There is nothing wrong with the bike and game, but it just doesn’t seem like the best way for a kid to exercise.  It has possibilities for rainy days, though…
