Bikes


A few month before Trevor and I got married, we talked about how it would be fun to get bikes once we had the wedding paid off. I had a vision of us leisurely riding our bikes on the parkway, and one day getting a bike trailer for our kids to ride in. 


When we went to purchase our bikes, I realized that Trevor and I had two totally different visions. 

He wanted road bikes; which won't work with a bike trailer and as I found out DO NOT come with kickstands. What kind of a bike doesn't come with a kickstand?
 It took some convincing, as my happy vision had now been crushed- but we ended up buying the road bikes, complete with the sexy padded spandex shorts, jerseys and clip in pedals.



 We've had our bikes for a few months and they have been great. 
We go on bike rides a few times a week, and I've made it up to 20 miles.
 Trevor will go on the nights I have school, so he is much quicker and can go farther than I can. 

A typical bike ride of ours looks something like this:
You can barely see him, but Trevor is at the very top of the road,
 and he's usually this far ahead of me- if I'm lucky
 he get's stuck at a red light and has to wait for me. 

We've had a lot of fun with our bikes and I'm really glad we have found another fun hobby we can do together!
And don't you worry, I will get my happy vision- complete with a bike trailer for our kids...and kickstands.
