06/07/2002 Entry: "Biking"

I haven't ridden a bike since before Sam was born.

We got a combination bike trailer/stroller months ago, but I had only used it as a stroller up until now. Since today is a sunny, warm day, I dragged out my bike, hooked up the trailer to it, and took the boy for a spin.

I hadn't accounted for my extremely out-of-shape legs. I hadn't accounted for the extra weight of the trailer behind me. Oh, ow.

Still, Sam liked the ride. My legs are sore, but I enjoyed it, too. Maybe I can jumpstart my weight loss if I keep this up!

I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 13, but I am getting a bike with a seat for my little one and we are going on bike rides! Just imagine a large parade of various size bikes going down the road, that would be me and my kids!

I give you mucho credit for getting back to it. I have a bike that I've never ridden beyond my driveway (because I don't know how to ride a bike with hand brakes, isn't that pathetic?) and I keep saying that I'm going to get it out there and ride it, but I haven't found the oomph. Maybe soon.

Good for you! I need to start exercising regularly.
