Nice!!! My 2yo feels the same way about bikes and coats and the great outdoors. 😂

Agreed! We’re probably a week or two away from those mornings. Give me a cool, crisp sub-zero day any day over wet & just-above!

Around 10 C, I think? It’s about 15 C now.

At the beginning of the ride I overheard a grown-up say to her friend, “We’re right behind both the music bike and the bubble bike. This is the best day of my life!”

Oh, that’s lovely! I’m glad you kept the vibe going.

This is encouraging news. Hopefully soon everyone will have received their fridge and the roads will empty right out.

I appreciate when someone doesn’t double down on a bad call, and shame on our mayor for letting that family down.

Haha, yep. Classic!

It’s a bit of a blur, but I think I even managed to stay on my feet, the bike just went sideways underneath me until I was standing on the ground. Fortunately, Rex’s fingers were in his lap rather than on the side rail, so he and I were more surprised than anything.

Sooooo much! And so did I. There are a zillion reasons a Carrie wasn’t the right daily driver for us, but it was so fun to borrow for a few days!

Rex and I were completely uninjured. He was surprised enough that he was able to move on from his grief about the Carrie.

I’ve never been particularly reckless on my bike, but I definitely ride more carefully with kiddos on board.

Hahaha, I miss her! (Don’t tell her how much I’m enjoying the Carrie.)

It was delightful to see you! 🥰
