New Toy

Last weekend Shanon went and bought a new toy...

I know, I was also surprised that it wasn't a toy for him! He actually first bought a bike seat for Macy, but upon trying to attach it to his bike, he learned that it wouldn't work. You see, since he is an avid bicyclist,complete with spandex shorts and everything.... okay I'm kidding, but for some reason he couldn't have just your regular old Wal-Mart mountain bike, he had to have a 'professional' grade bicycle that you can't attach things like seats for kids to ride in.... why think of the wind resistance that would create!

So anyway he came home with this bike trailer and at first I was skeptical, but after giving it a go myself (see below), I was impressed with how smooth it is. I could hardly tell I was pulling anything... unless you're going uphill.

I don't think Macy really understood what it was at first, but she really liked her helmet and after going for a ride, she really like riding in it.

So guess what else these fancy bicycles don't have.... kickstands! I know, I couldn't believe it either! Shanon asked me to help him by holding the bike so he could adjust something and that's when I discovered this. This makes it interesting to try and get Macy out of the trailer without dumping the 'fancy' bike over. I don't have a bicycle yet, but you can bet mine will be a good ol' Wal-Mart cheapie complete with kickstand!
