This week we made a funny little purchase.
We've seen these "tagalong bikes" before and thought they looked like so much fun. Basically, it acts like a tandem bike. You hitch the tagalong to the back of an adult bike, and off you go! The 2nd rider can pedal and steer, but most of the momentum, power, and handling comes from the front rider. Shhhh ... just don't tell the back rider...
We bought the tagalong bike in hopes that this would become a new "bike" for Reid this summer. Our neighborhood is very hilly, so it's hard for the boys to ride anywhere other than our rather short driveway. Our friend offered to sell us their tagalong, so we jumped on it!
We spent some time this weekend test driving our newest mode of transportation. Luke picked it up pretty quickly and loves it! Reid on the other hand needs a little more convincing before he's ready to hit the road. A little more practice (and patience), and we'll be pedaling away in no time. Hopefully by summer, we'll be able to take family bike rides around our neighborhood and down to the local breakfast spot!
