On Father’s Day, I finally got to realize one of my dreams: go on a ride with wee Z, Team Lope’s youngest member. We used the big back-mounted seat we inherited from friend Carey, attached to RedCoat, and wifebot(tm) was on her Bianchi Brava, which she hadn’t ridden since a few months into her pregnancy. After a tune-up and safety check for each, we were off to Blackie’s Pasture for a spin up and down the bay view waterfront path.
The 4-pack bike rack I got while we were expecting (advanced planning) works nicely for transporting more than one bike, since I can only put one bike in the E with the baby along for the ride. Plus, the seat is 300′ tall so it wouldn’t fit therein reGARTless.
Wee Z has a sweet little Lazer helmet. I’m putting one sticker on for each ride. It’ll be ghetto fabulous in no time.
She actually enjoyed the ride, I think. For future rides, we’re giving her eye protection though, as the wind was buffeting her face quite a bit, despite her large and handsome windscreen.
All in all it was a wonderful maiden voyage and the start of a Father’s Day tradition.
I’m really looking forward to getting Ye Blacke Death finished so I can use that bike’s planned FRONT seat on future rides…
Also, I’m pretty sure she threw threes at one point. Probably in terror, but still.
