Let’s Go Ride a Bike

Project 365 – #246

Before D’s surgery, we purchased a bike trainer for him to be able to use for fitness after his surgery.  He used it until he was able to ride outside.  We won’t go into the fact that shortly after he started riding outside he took a nasty spill.  Thankfully, it didn’t injure his back.  His doctor cleared him to ride, and he needs to work to get back in shape.  Riding is one of the things he uses as part of his fitness routine.

We enjoy taking bike rides as a family, but the summer months are not the best time to ride a bike as it’s way too hot.  As I stated above, D will ride outside during the summer.  Munchkin may or may not.  Me?  Not so much.  **wink**  So, D hooked up my bike to the trainer.  See, I got a new bike when Munchkin decided to inherit my old bike after she outgrew her bike.  I’m trying to get use to riding this new bike, and riding on a trainer helps me get use to it without dealing with the horrible summer heat.

Maybe by the time the cooler weather arrives I will be in shape and use to riding this bike, and we’ll be able to take some nice longer bike rides as a family.
