Title: Tandem Bicycling - now this is the life!
Post by: Kathy M on June 22, 2009, 06:58:33 pm
My husband just bought us a bicycle for two!  I was itching to get back on my bicycle and he was not convinced that was such a good idea just yet.  SO - he was waiting for me to get home from work with this beautiful bike sitting in the living room.  We took a nice bike ride on the bike trail and I was exhausted when we got back.   But, I did it, and in a far safer way than on my own steam.  He found it online at a great price (this is not one to go on a long trek) and it suits us just fine. 

For those of you posties who want to get back in the saddle but just aren't ready for soloing yet, this might be a nice alternative.   Can't wait til tomorrow night's ride!!  This summer is really looking great!!

That is awesome! I bought a nice bike the weekend before i found out I had an AN, so I haven't gotten much use out of it yet. I am glad you are being brave and getting out there, enjoying the summer. I doubt my roommate (a guy) would be willing to ride a tandem with me. And I'm not so it's I'd want to either  ;) Congratulations on the progress!

Kathy,

What a great idea for getting back on the trail! Glad you found a fun, safe way to enjoy the outdoors!

Happy trails!  ;D

Darin - I see your surgery is coming up soon. Best of luck, and hope you'll be back on your new bike before too long, too!  :)

Woo Woo!  Now, you can sit back and let him do all of the pedaling.  ;)  Congrats, Kathy!

Kathy,

How truly thoughtful of your husband and what a fun way of doing something together.  I've been trying to psych myself up to get back on my bike for a while but haven't felt up to it yet.  I think I need to get all kinds of protective padding before I do (helmet, gloves. knee pads).  Enjoy your rides!
