Sam's First Bike Ride

Last week we felt it was time to get back on the bikes that have been collecting dust for a year, so we bought Sam a seat to go on the back of Dan's hardtail. We heard from friends that this would be better than a trailer attachment since he doesn't have a sibling to sit in the back with him and he would feel more secure this way. So we went to REI and purchased a seat and helmet. We were not too sure what he would think of it, but after Dan took him for a trial spin around the block pulled up in the driveway, I lifted up Sam's safety handle bar and he quickly slapped it right down back in place. Well, that answered that, he was in love. So now we were off for fun at Smithville Park with our little companion at our side (or behind if you will).
