We went to the grocery store yesterday, where the Yuba had some company while it waited for us. I didn't plan on getting much, just some fruit and a drink, but we ended up getting donuts too. Jack loves the little grocery carts as he always likes to be helpful, I think it's pretty adorable, but we get mixed reviews from our fellow shoppers, some of whom seem to have forgotten the pleasures of being in the moment.
Afterwards we went to the playground where Jack had a fun time running around, met some new friends and tired himself out. It really was lovely weather, hard to believe it was snowing just the day before! When I look at the picture below I find myself smiling. This bike really has changed my life and we are still very much at the beginning of our journey.
With the 30 days of Biking just around the corner I'm glad the weather is looking a little nicer, honestly I don't mind the rain because I now know the weather protector works really well, but I don't like the wind when its head on, as it makes it hard for me to get forward momentum.
When we left the park I headed over to Kyle's work as I hoped we would be able to meet him, he had already left and so we headed home. As we crossed an intersection I saw a bike towing a kids trailer in front of us, they were about 2 city blocks ahead and seemed to be enjoying a slow ride. My competitive nature got the better of me and I decided to catch up with them, which I'm pleased to report I was able to do in no time at all. That marks the first time I've passed anything on my bike, so I guess that's progress! I think cycling everyday in April will be a really positive experience, not only will it help speed up my progress but it will help me get in the habit of daily cycling, which is my ultimate goal.

Great post. So glad you're enjoying riding. Great photo of Jack with the grocery cart! Cheers.
ReplyDeleteThank you CTQ!! He LOVES those little carts- squeals with joy at the sight of them;)
DeleteWhile I don't have a FB (no,really,LOL!) OR a twitter,I will be joining you and Jack in spirit as I attempt the 30 days in April-I do reserve the right to bail if the spinal issues flair up,but be sure that I'll have no other reasons/excuses :) You'll have to check my blog (http://www.disabledcyclist.wordpress.com) for my entries since I have not those two updaters,but it should be fun.
ReplyDeleteGood post,Nick (my 9 year old) still loves those tiny carts as well,LOL,though he's big enough for those mid-sized carts now :)

Hello TDC! I will certainly be checking your blog, looking forward to hearing about everyone's 30 days!
DeleteThe little shoppers are awesome!
Cheers!
We LOVE little Andy's shoppers!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andys Market for having them! Jack takes great pride in pushing his around the store!
DeleteThat little grocery cart is so cute! It's wonderful that your store has them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it! Andy's Market is a pretty awesome store, they have a really big lean towards holistic and vegetarian products, lots of bulk bins and alternative foods from Seaweed Pastas to fresh deli pizzas that come with vegan and vegetarian options. Pretty amazing for a small town!
