I know many mums who carry a few kiddos and tackle hills like nothing! <br />You know I noticed Jack's helmet actually has a car on it too, a car! Seriously?! lol I got it on sale at walmart last year for $2 lol...I didn't have a bike or any intention of getting one, but we were there and it was in a bin full of $2 helmets. I got it and he played with it in his toy box for ages until I got the bike and realized I'd bought it.<br />Going to get stickers!<br /><br />LLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-46929785954346175542012-05-26T07:33:53.847-07:002012-05-26T07:33:53.847-07:00Hello Artur- I'm very excited about your inter...Hello Artur- I'm very excited about your interview, I know so many people will be blessed to hear about your bike building.

It made me well up with tears, but so worth it!<br /><br />Colorado is beautiful! I've been there a few times, I'm sure you'll love it and I can't wait to hear about your new commute!<br /><br />There is never any other kind of wind than a head wind, and always when you are at your lowest energy it seems!<br /><br />Seems like so many friends are getting xtracycles- so exciting! Will you show us pictures?<br /><br />LindsayLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-37378719136877706392012-05-25T08:40:39.917-07:002012-05-25T08:40:39.917-07:00Hey TDC-

You addressed hills AND wind here! So cute that Jack provided encouragement for the tough parts of the ride today :)<br /><br />The bike rack at the grocery store I frequent is poorly positioned, so I always go for the cart corral lock up -- use what works.<br /><br />The toddler helmets at Target are still a little big for my guy, but two of them had car themes -- ugh! I think I shall refuse to buy them. He might have to deal with one of the "girly" ones instead.Melissa @ HerGreenLifehttp://hergreenlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-24670566844499353522012-05-24T03:54:17.043-07:002012-05-24T03:54:17.043-07:00hi Lindsay

Didn't you feel great when you got back (sure exhausted, but victorious too right?)? 7 miles with that kind of wind is impressive too! You didn't cop out and bargain with yourself to cheat today and make up the missing miles later. AND you did the hill. Gogo Jack cheer-squad! (I want one, /pout)<br /><br />Summer is nearing, and my husband and I are nearly free of school (his college classes, my school bus driving). We are moving to Colorado as soon as school ends in the beginning of June- my last day is June 7. We have no house plan yet, but my husband said it may be further from the bus shop there, assuming we can get within a bikeable distance at all. The prospect didn't make me sad at all. I had just had the thought yesterday that perhaps this 4 miles was getting too easy.<br /><br />As for the wind, it seems strange that I used to fight it so much. I noticed this week when the winds picked up that now instead of EVERYTHING feeling like a direct headwind sent solely to antagonize me, I can recognize that most of the wind is a diagonal crosswind and isn't really hampering me at all. A straight-on crosswind can be scary because the gusts from the side might push me sideways closer to traffic. And the rare true headwind seems less daunting now below 25mph sustained. I can just shift down and (keep calm and) pedal on. <br /><br />It does get better.<br /><br />Hot wheels could apply to a bicycle too :P<br />But I agree- that brand is a car thing.<br /><br />I think whenever I get a new bicycle, Zoomie shall become an Xtracycle. I've wanted one since I first saw a FreeRadical, and your Yuba makes me itch to get one.<br /><br />Happy riding! I've got to turn off this computer or I shall never get back to sewing...Red-Eyed Tree Froggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254685243910741046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-62295925404008294112012-05-23T16:12:49.388-07:002012-05-23T16:12:49.388-07:00LOL,Nick's first helmet had Hotwheels! on it t...LOL,Nick's first helmet had Hotwheels! on it too,small world,eh? :p Yeah...put a big sweet Yuba stickie over it,and it'll be evencooler :D<br /><br />Don't feel like you're alone with the weather...I got monsooned yesterday for a 35 miler,and drenched fairly well today as well,and lost a computer to casualty of water.
