Well, we probably won't save the world but we have certainly enjoyed our recent bike outings! Over the Memorial Day weekend there was a big festival in Hermosa Beach (about 5-8 miles north of us) called Fiesta Hermosa. They offered free bike parking in a guarded lot so we thought we'd give it a try! We rode the strand most of the way up to Hermosa, w/ only just a mile or so on the streets. Parking can be a huge pain w/ limited spots and if you're lucky enought to find one, you have to feed the meter. I could not believe how many bikes there were but it was great to see!
A couple of months ago we bought a trailer for Carson that's pulled behind the bike. I'm not sure that Carson is a fan just yet but he's adjusting. We strap him in but after awhile, he starts sliding down and falling to the side. I guess it's not that bad - he's fallen asleep a few times!
Here's his new ride!
And here's the big guy in action! That helmet absolutely cracks me up!!
We've started riding our bikes or walking more which has been great. Since we live on a hill (thank goodness not at the top) it's super easy to get down to the beach, grocery store, shopping, etc. But, the only problem with going down hill is that you must go back up the hill to get home. We've tried multiple routes but we just can't seem to avoid the hill! haha But, here's my outlook - we're getting a good workout and burning some calories!

Carson looks SO BIG in the trailer!!! Wasn't he just a newborn??? Can I ride in the trailer with him while Greg pulls us up the hill?
Carson, Katie and I could ride in the trailer while the big, strong, California guy pulls us up the hill. Sounds like fun to me!!!!!!!!!!!
