As I mentioned a while ago, I got a new bike for Christmas – yay!! It was technically meant to be a birthday present, but I accidentally saw it get delivered and sort of strong-armed my way into receiving it early. I did my best to play along, assuming it would show up under the Christmas tree á la A Christmas Story (hence the name); when it didn’t, well…let’s just leave it there, shall we? (more…)

So you know how I like to jump in headfirst? Well, back before my Radish even got here I booked us a campsite to go camping–by bike. Yep.
We did a test pack tonight and I’m quite pleased to see that it looks like I will be able to carry all of our camping gear on my bike without the trailer! I’m really happy that I don’t have to worry about pulling the trailer and adding to the length of my bike. Jesse will carry the kids, the dog (yep), clothes, and the food. I’ll carry the 8-person tent, two adult camping chairs, the stove, air mattress, sleeping bags, and the kitchen gear. (more…)

My lovely new Xtracycle Radish came just in time to take it out for the Pedal 4 Pride community bike ride that Jesse and I were set to volunteer for on Saturday. Friday night before the ride, Jesse and I stayed up super late (well, what passes for late in these parenting days) working on our bikes to ensure they were ready for the ride. The ride required that we ride down to the Parramore District and then lead a bike bus over to the VegFest and then drive the bike bus back to Parramore and head home. This was no small feat for our family of four, so we wanted to be prepared! Finally, after adjusting seats, filling tires, attaching lights, we were good to go. I was rotating my pedals when we heard a slight “swoosh” sound. (more…)
