The Bike Trailer

Sometimes things that don't make sense actually do. Like yesterday even though we are living on our savings, student loans and a little bit of money I'm making with my articles we decided to buy a bike trailer. We have been looking since Alder was born for a used one but yesterday we bought a new In-Step trailer. Even though it was new it was cheaper than the used Burley or Chariots we were finding on Craig's list.

Still it was spending a hundred dollars. But when we thought about it I will probably save at least that much on gas and random money spent by having the trailer. Until Alder was born I spent a lot of time wandering around Denver on my bike. The city has a lot of trails which connect parks and neighborhood. Many of these are along streams and rivers. What better way to spend a summer day with Alder than to head out on a trail stopping to get our feet wet?

Of course we need to get Alder used to riding in it.
