Bike Culture

Like a lot of families, we’re trying to embrace bicycle culture.  I’ve been riding my bike to work occasionally (it’s only four miles round trip), Francis has been on two wheels for almost two years.  George and Sam are on their way, and for the first time in our marriage, both Sally and I have our own bikes.  This is Sally’s bike with a child seat that her friend Kristen gave her.

I remember riding in a similar seat on the back of my dad’s ten speed Schwinn.  My only memory is one of paralyzing fear, but I wonder if I did sometimes enjoyed it as much as Sam.

Here, we’re heading home from Shaw’s, a new burger place on Magnolia Ave.  With the sidewalks and streets in our neighborhood being renovated, this is something we hope to do a lot more often.
