After a few rain delays, we finally got out for our inaugural ride just before dinner. These pictures aren't great, since I was trying to take them after our ride and before the next big rain downpour. I'm feeling the pain in my legs already! I hadn't been on my bike since early 2009. I had actually forgotten what my bike looked liked, since I only rode it about three times in fall 2008- spring 2009 before I was too pregnant. (My original bike was stolen from our condo garage if you want to go back and see the blog posts from September 2008.)
The trailer is called the Schwinn Scout. It's a two-seater, but the harnesses are set up that one child rides in the center using middle parts of each harness. I read that it's good to have the extra room for baby's carry-on items and the cooler or beach equipment, etc. We just rode a few laps through our neighborhood, and it was smooth when the pavement was smooth. Will and I both felt the couple of small potholes I took us through. The turning wasn't as hard as I imagined. It helped having Jason riding next to us as our spotter.
