Judi and Jackson Go Biking

Here in TreeHuggerVille (aka Davis), A LOT of people use bicycles as a mode of transportation. It's no big deal to see tandem bikes or large groups of adult/kids biking around town together--they are EVERYWHERE. All the roads have a bike lane and there are lots of greenbelt/bike trails here. In fact, when we moved to Davis, some friends told us that we had to have bikes and a dog in order to live here (I haven't checked the laws, but there are enough bikes and dogs around that it might be true).

Now that Jackson is a year old, he's old enough to ride in a bike trailer (which all of the "in" parents have here). We took our first test ride to the gym, with me on my bike and him in the bike trailer that his grammy (my mom) bought for us. The trailer even has a compartment behind the seat where I can fit two large bags of groceries.

He enjoyed riding in the trailer, especially over bumpy parts of the road, except when his helmet slid down over his eyes. I guess I need to do a few more adjustments on his helmet, and then it should be smooth sailing!
