April Fools! 18 miles down

Look, my new ride!!! April Fools!
March went out quietly. I had been hoping to end the month with 300 miles but the weather and a touch of the grumpies stopped us at 268. Still, nothing to scoff at. Little Brother and I have been sharing a cold and I have been feeling bad that he gets so much wind in his face as we ride. We tried out the Yepp Mini Windshield but because of the tight spacing with my headset, it didn't work. Jose pointed out that I just needed a steertube extender so as of now, that might be the Mundo's next evolution. 

Today was just a day like any other. My annual "Honey, I'm pregnant" joke didn't work this year. We began the morning with a ride to the Unitarian Universalist Society of Sacramento, then rode along the American River Bike Trail to do some errands, finally, home. A simple day made brighter with the addition of our bike rides. It's always nice to have the whole family riding together. Even when we don't have anywhere exciting to go, it truly is the journey that is the most fulfilling. The Today also kicked off the start to our 30 Days Of Biking challenge. I've never ridden 30 days in a row so I am excited to see how this goes. 

It's fun to know that there are other bike fools like us. Sometimes I forget while I'm riding quietly along a busy street filled with SUVs--most with only one person in the car. It's easy to feel forgotten as you watch a car drift into your bike lane as if you didn't exist. However, then I see all the fun events other bikers are putting together, the amazing photos and stories people are telling, the hard work people accomplish by bike and I am reminded that Cyclists are strong and powerful. One of my favorite things is to check out a fellow cyclist's rig only to catch them checking out mine. There is an unspoken connection that deserves and smile and a nod. We all know that it's not the easiest choice to leave the car in the driveway and pick up your bike but that it is the best choice. I love getting emails and messages from other riders about what is working for them or questions about what is working for me. I am constantly floored by the innovations and creativity that is abundant in this community and I am so happy to be able to be a part of it. 

Happy riding!

Big Brother is showing us that an efficient high-speed railroad network (that allows cargo bikes aboard) is essential to the correction of global climate change and health of our planet and its population. What a smart kid!
