Just some silly footage of our fun ride today. Little Brother is exhausted from his trip to the doctor's and Big Brother is helping by being my engine. So sweet! It's not surprising that they keep me pedaling. This bike is actually one of the only ways that Little Brother will actually get a nap in. He was asleep in minutes. One of the only bummers of riding with children is that you are put on display for all to see. When they are whiney and tired, everyone sees. When they have calmed down a few seconds later, you are already well past them and they are left thinking "wow, what is that mom doing to her poor children?" Just so you know, children cry in carseats, too! 

Final issue of the day: Kate Burns made the Sacramento Bee with a lovely photo of her riding away from the Bike Month festivities and sadly, not 24 hours later, there is already a scathing opinion. He is immediately shot down by Kate's fantastic knowledge of the real California Vehicle Code 21204 but it is still disheartening that people really believe that nonsense. How can anyone look at that photo and not see a happy family enjoying some good, healthy exercise and using a mode of transportation that can save the world? I guess that's why were here and working to change these opinions and show these sadly misinformed individuals that biking is safe and fun--it's driving that is the killer.
