Relaxing with a Bike Ride with the Kids

February 18th, 2010 by overpublica

The thing that I hate the most about being an adult is that there is not enough time for fun. So I had kids to change that. I know that it isn't always as fun as I hope, and sometimes there are issues, but they certainly add value to my life.

I decided that since it was such a nice day, I should take the time to spend it with them. So, we went out for a bike ride. The three year old loves her tricycle, but she is too slow for us to go on a bike ride with her. Instead, we have a Schwinn bicycle trailer that we bought to put on the back of my bike. She laughs and giggles the whole trip while in the trailer. I feel a lot better with her in it.

We talked about getting one for the dog, but I don’t think we will. The dog can walk on his own four feet.
