To ease our transition from subway to suburbia, we really needed a new set of wheels. Ever since, oh, pregnancy, Jared & I had been talking about buying something that would allow enough room for the kiddos so we could all enjoy rides together. Last week I happened to hear a commercial on the radio about a massive sale going on in nearby Camarillo, and we headed there that very Saturday to get ourselves... a bike trailer!
We were giddy with excitement about this purchase. Right now we only have one car, so on days that Jared drives to work, these wheels are how the kids and I get around. It's more fun than driving, yes, but I'm also really counting on this situation to keep me from getting too squishy in my new, much more sedentary life.
At this time I would like to highlight the bike trailer accessories that are now my #1 absolute favorite twin purchase EVER...
These helmets! Matching flames?! One helmet with flames might not have done much for me, but seeing the two of them together absolutely blew my mind and brought the giddiness up to Level Out of Control.
BONUS: the kids love wearing their helmets... they usually ask to keep them on after they get out of the bike, and then I get to sit back and let them do whatever they want because hey, they're wearing helmets.
Okay fine, here are more pics of kids in matching flames helmets. Something about that chin strap makes those cheeks even more irresistible...
PPS as far as mom cars go, the minivan really is boss. I'm sorry, but it's true.
Ahhh, I love these wheels! You must have awesome leg strength to pull all that weight behind you. These twins are the best thing that could have ever happened to your exercise routine.
ReplyDeleteLook how big they are! The helmets are adorable.
ReplyDeleteBah!! We have the minivan (don't tell anyone but it IS amazing) and we are in such need of a bike trailer!! It will be my next purchase... wait... student loans... !!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Quite different from the original double stroller, eh? And aren't vans the BEST?! We bought one a few months back and I just can't get enough.
ReplyDeleteSquishy? Debi, you've never been--could never be-- squishy or sedentary with the pace you and the kiddos keep, on the bike or off. You're amazing!
