Leaving the car at home

Being that I’m still hunting for a job, leaving the car at home has become more of a necessity than an option. SoCal gas prices are still high and riding my bike to most places saves me cash.

Since my daughters are now in Summer break, riding to a location such as a park or the local ice cream shop makes the ride more fun. One of the most useful bikes on my stable is my Diamond Back transporter with the Xtracycle FreeRadidcal kit. This bike allows me to transport my youngest daughter along with food, games, blankets and any other stuff needed for a picnic at the park.

I also happen to live close to the Fullerton Loop, so when we decided to take our little trip offroad, it was no problem. Both my girls and I enjoyed our little side adventure, although the offroad trip included some uphill riding, both girls soldiered on.

When we got back home, we were all pretty tired. We rewarded ourselves with some ice cream and some relaxing time at home. I’m pretty blessed to have girls that love the outdoors and are not afraid for a little adventure.
