Kindon's New Conveyance

For the last year or so, since gas prices have risen so much, we have been riding our bikes if we have to go somewhere in town, unless it was raining or really cold, or we had to carry something that was too big to fit in a backpack (like a major grocery shopping trip), or if we had Kindon with us. Last week we bought a bike trailer, and now we don't have to take a vehicle in order to accommodate Kindon when he is with us. Here is the new setup:


The first day that I got the trailer assembled, we went to the Muni Band concert on the square. Here's Kindon in the trailer for his first ride:



I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to pull the trailer with the bike. Kindon seemed to enjoy it as well. He was obviously tired that evening, and at one point he went back and laid down across the seat of the trailer to rest. After a while he got back up and listened to the rest of the music before we headed for home. I've had him out in the trailer a couple of times since then and really enjoy it.
