We live adjacent to a very long bike path. In fact, we first spotted what would become our current home while cycling on the bike path. Pre-kids, we cycled almost daily during the summer. After our first child, we slowed down significantly. After our second, we rarely cycled. However, at the end of last summer we thought our toddler might be ready to sit on a seat behind her papa's bicycle. So off we went to a local bike shop. They fitted a seat unto the back of my husband's bicycle. Unfortunately our toddler cried all the way home and refused to get into the bike seat thereafter.
This week, we thought we would give it another try. Both our toddler and baby willingly got into the bike seat, and enjoyed a 15 minute ride with their papa. We attempted to go on a second ride a few days ago, only to discover a flat tire! While at the bike shop, we decided to buy our toddler her first bicycle. Her little sister thereby inherited her tricycle. So although we haven't been back out with papa's bike, the girls have been out daily on their new bikes. Our baby doesn't do a whole lot of peddling. But thankfully, the bar on the back of her trike allows us to control her movement. Our toddler peddles quite well. But she also jumps off without warning...
