19th June 2014: Andrea is full of surprises and plans

Surprise the kids: 

Go on an After-School bike Ride!

Andrea writes:

I surprised my son at school today by collecting him, with the bikes in the back of the car. 
He was so excited to go for an after-school bike ride. All the way he was saying:

“Wow, Mommy you’re getting so good at it!”


The encouragement was great. I am starting to think that I will really miss the bike when I return it.
Bike riding is a great way of spending time with the kids outdoors, and it can be done pretty much all year.



Since I have had the bike we have definitely spent less time watching telly. Of course the weather has been great, which helps. The plan is now to try one of the other great places to cycle like the Old Blackrock train line.


Will keep you posted!


The Cork, Blackrock and Passage Railway was originally opened in 1850

Andrea also came across a rather useful invention for all the skirt wearing cyclists out there:

Love wearing skirts and riding bikes? Me too, but keeping it classy and not flashing the whole world can be a problem in this equation.
Check out this awesome little solution from Etsy seller Bird Industries.

Editor's Footnote:


If you too would like to spend quality time with youngsters there are some useful tips and video links here: http://www.parents.com/fun/sports/exercise/bicycle-riding/ 

Parents are the people a child depends on everything in life and they are the people a child learns life from. Parental involvement in the activities of children will help them to be confident enough and smart enough. Such activities are occasions for parents to know their children more deeply.
Each kid may exhibit different levels of mental development, various skills and various passions. Being with them and spending time together will help parents to know the kid well and also to decide how the child should be handled. Activities together are the right opportunity for parents to determine what is lacking for their children.
