We took our first whole-family bike ride today–a 2.5 mile trip to Paseo Verde Park. There’s a playdate there in a couple weeks and I wanted to see if I could make it on a cruiser. There’s a long hill, but it wasn’t too bad. Of course next time I’ll be toting a kid on the too-big cruiser. At least the ride home will be a breeze.

In helmet news, I returned the too-big blue Bell and got the yellow Giro. Not the kewlest color, but hey, it’s got birds on it.
