First trailer bike ride!

Zoe had her first trailer bike ride.. that is a bike that hooks behind the parent's bike.. the child can pedal (or not) and just has handle bars (no front wheel).

We went for a weekend of fun in Vancouver. Stayed at the Times Square hotel.. it was a great home away from home, little kitchen, laundry, bedroom, etc. We didn't set out to rent a bike, but it was perfect.. we got bikes for ourselves, I pulled a Chariot with Finn (covered kid seat) and Zoe on a trailer bike... it was a perfect day and a perfect way to get around the west end of Vancouver. We biked over to the beach, then to Granville island, taking the bikes on the Aquabus... we played, shopped, ate... then unfortunately it started to rain.. and we had to get the bikes back... Finn fell immediately asleep... and Zoe was tired, and was quite the tropper... she got very wet right away, and it wasn't long before she had a ribbon of splash up her front (from Bruce's tire), and down her back (from her own)... I have a fond memory of her saying "I'm done with this.. no more.. I do not look like a princess. I want to change right now".. as she was climbing back on the bike. We made it home and it was a lovely weekend.

(I do not have any pictures.. I didn't even bring a camera)
