Sofa's Beware:
The Bikes are Taking Over!

It was a very busy day today, so there was only a very humble 15
minute bike ride for me.
Nevertheless it was fun and relaxing and probably the only 15
minutes all day that I was ALONE- and all parents know what a treat that can be
... especially when badly needed.

I noticed I'm finally after getting to grips with starting and
stopping too. It probably sounds silly to most cyclists but as a beginner these
are a little tricky and wobbly!! Anyway now I am a lot more confident with the
bike and hoping I look it too! I'm sure I frightened a few drivers the other
day when I was taking off quite unsteadily at traffic lights.

I spent some time
teaching my daughter to ride her bike without her stabilisers, not successful
yet but she's getting braver- another few days and she'll be off I'd say.
Right now my living room had 3 bikes in it so it’s not my usual
relaxing domain. As a family we have NEVER used our bikes so much-long may it
continue.
