Helping sis be brave for the pressure cuff with back rubs and counting

Getting sis ready for her checkup this morning

I don’t have video of the times my first graders were riding in the thick of the throng, because I’m in focused, mama-bear mode in those moments. Gotta make sure we don’t go down with the guy who was very proficient riding backwards. . . until he hit a classic Indy pothole and got major road rash. 🧵

I actually would not recommend Indianapolis Bike Party for the average kid, but if your child is already a bike commuter and knows what it means to ride both predictably and responsively, it can be a fun experience to ride with a big group, at least before people get too inebriated. 🧵

Google has been told the 16 Tech Bridge is open by at least ten users but still won’t add it to the map or route users there. Granted, it may be a death trap for a cyclist guided into the abyss (see video) so I’ll give them a pass until we can get some landscaping or a railing at the edge. . .

Find mom friends who will let you pop their three-year-old into your cargo bike and roll with your first graders.

Counting on your fingers is hard, going grocery shopping by cargo bike is not.
