I got busy today and finally installed the baby seat I bought when Blake was about 3-4 years old!! I bought Sienna a helmet the other day. She cried when I put it on, but she’ll get used to it. Dunno how she’s gonna go when I strap her into the seat on the bike and go for an actual ride. Probably terrified .. oh well.
This was the other surprise I had for Bec.. not the seat.. I put that together today myself, but I took both our bikes in to a bike shop on Thursday to get fixed up properly and have a full safety check. We bought the bikes about 3 or more years ago when living in Sydney, but when we lived in Kirrawee we would have had to carry the bikes down two flights of stairs to get to the bottom level.. then there’s SFA places to ride. After that we moved to another place but this time DOWN 85 steps. I think I mentioned how much the removalists hated us.. and nowhere to ride there either. Now we are in this new place with NO STEPS and lots of places to ride around.. even off the road, so we should be having some great exercise soon. I have to find Bec’s helmet and mine. I can’t remember if I got her one. Although, up here you are not required to wear helmets, I figure it’s a good example to set for the kids. They both have helmets although since Blake hasn’t ridden his bike anywhere but the backyard I don’t think he’s worn his at all yet.
The only problem with this place is the SUPERSTEEP driveway, so we may have to push our bikes up that the first few times until we get uber-buff.. like in a couple of years or so
