Rain!

We didn't melt! 

I know this isn't exciting for people who live in places like Portland and Seattle, but for us Sacramentians, rain is a Big Deal. People freak out when it starts getting wet outside. Heck, we think that Ugg boots are appropriate footwear for times like these. 

However, we rode in the rain and lived to tell you about it.

Actually, it may have been more of a heavy mist but it's just about as good as we can get around here. 

We are working on ordering a rain cover from Blaq Designs, more for the very crisp mornings than the actual rain, but it will make the boys more comfortable and that's a good thing.

Our friends Neil and Kara just got a Nihola from Practical Cycle which comes with a great weather cover. I got to give the bike a little test ride and LOVED it! Compared to the Christiania I have ridden in Portland a couple of times, it's a world of difference. It has a much smaller turn radius and feels very nimble and easy to control. I could see my mom feeling comfortable riding our boys around in something like this.

I love seeing more and more families find the joy of cargo biking!

I agree about the rain/ wind cover. We had a blast riding in the rain this week, but I had tk leave Kenzie home because we don't have rain protection. I will have to figure out a simple solution for my cycle truck.

I have a cover that might work as a frame for you. It'd be a good sun cover and then maybe you could rig up a rain protector to go over when needed? Let me know next time you come up this way and we could give it a try.
