The Andersons Go Green

My wonderful in-laws got me this fabulous bike trailer for my birthday a few weeks ago! I had been telling Jason how much I wanted one--we only have one car, and so I thought a bike trailer would be great to have so that I have transportation when Jason drives the car to work. But I never thought that I would actually get such a nice one! As you can see, it is a double bike trailer and it has cute little cargo pockets in front. It also has a pretty large cargo area in back. It has a mesh cover with a plastic rain cover that you can roll up on nice days to let air in. And when it's not being towed by a bike, you can use it as a stroller! I thought it might be hard to tow, but it's so light and it turns so easily, I can barely tell that I am towing anything!
Helena can't ride in it until we get this special hammock thing to put in it. I hope that it works, because I want to take Tempe and Helena to the park and the library!
Tonight I rode my bike to the grocery store instead of driving and it felt so good. It's so much better than driving--it's good exercise for me, fresh air for Tempe, and it saves gas (which means it saves money!) I felt so good to be riding my bike somewhere that I would normally drive to. From now on, if I can possibly ride my bike somewhere, I'm going to--and that's a promise!
