I’ve been talking about getting a bike for myself in order to take the boys for bike rides. I’ve been talking about it for awhile…and as the boys are getting older I realize I really need to give them more freedom. Maybe if they ride with me for awhile then I’ll feel comfortable letting them go a few places on their own. (Gosh, the world is a scary place nowadays!)
So, my friend Ruth mentioned today that her #3 son is selling a couple of bikes! A deal was struck. But somehow I ended up taking my first ride tonight! J1 and I rode our new-to-us 🙂 bikes home from her house….over 2 miles!! Yes, I looked it up. I was hoping it was suitably impressive in case I’m incapable of moving tomorrow!!
After I recovered enough to speak again, J2 asked if we were going on a ride tomorrow. I said if I could move tomorrow, we would go on a ride. Lord, help me! Just took the maximum dose of pain meds – that should help! Maybe we’ll post pictures tomorrow!
Haha! I gave my older son’s bike a quick try-out and after riding for a few minutes I had to come back because the seat was hurting my rear end so bad!! I rode fast and hard up our gently uphill sloping driveway – and the next day, my legs were so sore!!
Thanks for visiting WEathertop Farm!
Well, I see you must have recovered. Been on any more? I don’t think I’d ever feel comfortable letting my kids ride around on their own. I get nervous about leaving him at ballet and there are plenty of responsible adults around to make sure nothing happens to him.
