New Ride

Last year for Father's Day Jaxon got his dad a bike seat for his bike, so that he could join him for a ride. Well needless to say, Jaxon never did follow through with actually getting his dad that gift. We had kind of decided that it would be nicer to spend the extra money and get a bike trailer instead. We had been looking for a used one but had not been able to find one. It is amazing what a demand for these things there is, expecially used ones.
Curt's parents got one at a liquidation place near our home town. Their neighbors go over to it on a weekly basis, and they just told them to keep their eyes open for one and when they see it, to get it. We asked them to do the same for us and they finally were able to get us one on the Easter weekend. It needed to have some repairs done to the wheel, but we are in business and have been able to get out a couple of times on it already.
I have not had a bike in a couple of years, as I really do not enjoy bike riding, but I decided that it would probably be something that we could all do as a family and bit the bullet and bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. It is a cruiser...a 2 speed...stop and go.
We are all good to go now with our bike riding family fun and I think we will get a lot of use out fo the bike trailer for sure. I am glad Jaxon decided to hold off on buying that bike seat for his dad last year!!!
