Family bike ride


We've had such beautiful weather this week, so we decided to take advantage of it and take a family bike ride!  We filled the tires, fitted our helmets, strapped in and... went around the block.


Riley certainly looked the part, but did not like his helmet!  We gave him a pacifier - we plied him with puffs - we sang all kinds of songs - but nothing made him like that helmet.


Besides hating the helmet, I think he's still a little too small for the buggy.  He kept slipping and ended up just laying down in the seat.  We'll try again in a few weeks and even if he doesn't like it then, at least we know that he can grow into it and get used to it.


You know who does like the bike buggy?  Addison!  So at least we know that someone will get use out of it!

Love it. Glad you're getting some use out of the rig. You're right he probably does just have to grow into it. Until then you can ride Addison around. Don't worry Riley will grow into it. Maybe he would like to be on the back of the bike in a seat. The helmet does seem to be an issue. Please tell him you're not supposed to wear it under your chin. The helmet is supposed to be on top of your head.
