Something New

We have been biking a lot lately. We bike to get groceries, to rent some movies, to go to the beach and we bike for exercise. We have this bike trailer that we usually haul Zech around and he really does enjoy it. The funny thing is, they are not that common here. So everytime we go out with the trailer, we get so many looks and comments made about it. In Canada they are everywhere, and we are always so sursprised that there are not more in Australia since they have more of a climate for biking. However, it is quite hard to park and lock the bikes with the trailer, so we were trying to think of other options.



John loves bikes and often wonders into the bike shops. During one of his excursions to browse in the bike shop he found this:


This is the new WeeRide Center-Mounted Bicycle Seat Carrier . We never really cared for the rear or even the front carriers, but when we saw this we had to buy it. It is a lot safer (we think) and Zech LOVES it. It is way more interactive for him! Plus we are not limited to the trails that we can bike on now, where as with the trailer we always had to take the paved/concrete paths. It is easier to lock the bikes up too, as we just take the seat off and away we go. They are brand new and they should be in Canada if not now, but soon.

You are sure prolific these days,Vanessa. I am having great difficulties connecting to the blogger. Your bike pics are super. What nifty gear they have these days, and what cool dudes you have!! I did a lot of biking in my younger years, and I do miss it. Perhaps I'll get myself going again. Have to get a good bike first.
