30 Days of Biking – day five

It’s April! That means 30 Days of Biking and biking every day and hopefully blogging about it each day.

After being up half the night with a stressed-out kid I wasn’t up for much of anything today, but we made it out to the schoolyard to play some foursquare. During our last visit we discovered much of the play area was strewn with little pieces of broken glass so I brought our big broom and swept the foursquare court clean.

On this date in 2011 we lived in Seattle but tagged along on a day trip to Portland with my friend Kerri so she could buy a bike like mine. At that point I had a little city bike with front and rear kid seats and though I had never been to Clever Cycles, I knew they’d be able to match her to a bike. She ended up with a terrific little Breezer with front and rear kid seats. Meanwhile, I test rode a longtail for the first time…though I already knew I wanted to eventually upgrade to one before that.
