When allowed to choose something from the $1 section of Target the other day, Rachel and Helen opted for baskets to attach to the front of their bicycles. Apparently this is all that was needed to convert them into keen cyclists. Yesterday, while David and I were out, Rob took them on a 2.75 mile bicycle ride. Later, while Helen took herself to bed for a nap, Rachel continued to cycle around in her strappy sundress and high-heeled flip-flops! She must have clocked over 3 miles and was not at all intimidated by hills, continuing to pedal and not getting off to push.
Today Helen, along with Rob and David, cycled all the way from our house to our neighbourhood pool. In similar fashion to Rachel, she steadfastly pedalled her way up a long, steep hill that has sometimes got the better of me!
