Just like riding a bike...

So I told you a few posts ago that I bought Kraig a bike, right? We've both been able to enjoy the bike, but since we only have one bike, we have to take turns. I'll take it for a ride early while Kraig stays with the kids, then Kraig will get a turn a little later.

So to solve a little of this problem we found a bike trailer! No, no. Kraig won't pull me around in it. I found it while I was out garage saling last weekend. The price was right (FREE!), it's a little derelict, but the kids fit and have a blast AND it opens up a whole other realm of possibilities for fun outings for our family. Now we just need to get a second bike so we can all go on a ride...

Anyway, after Kraig's 'test ride' to work last week he decided that the route that he'd taken was too dangerous. He would have been riding along two major roads with no sidewalks during rush hours. We looked on googlemaps and found him a safer route that avoids all the busy, scary roads and cuts through the state park on a few paved paths. It cut 10 minutes from his 'commute' and added years to my peace of mind. Hopefully he can ride to work a few times a week and cut a little off our ever increasing gas budget.
