2 wheels are better than 4 wheels (unless you include a bike trailer)

This summer we have started to get into biking for transportation and recreation. Since we do live in the middle of a hill, this is a bit of a challenge, but a challenge that we are figuring out. Nathan has been biking to work (all uphill on the way there) a lot on an attempt to strengthen up (though we wonder if that is possible!) :) And Veronica has biked straight up 7 blocks from the lake to our house. We have also done a good bit of biking for fun on a lot of the beautiful trails in and around Duluth. Though we have a long way to go to truly be able to bike everywhere we go, there is a lot of summer left!

One of our friends had a baby bike trailer they weren't using so we have been borrowing that to pull Isaiah around in. For the most part he likes it; in fact he normally falls asleep in very awkward positions while we are biking around.

Here are some highlights of our biking from this summer so far:

--Nathan has put on about 80 miles and Veronica has put on about 65 miles this summer

--Our longest bike ride was 21 miles on Memorial Day on the Munger Bike trail (Nathan pulled Isaiah the entire way)!

--We biked along Lake Superior on a trail near Goosberry Falls...we didn't realize quite how hilly it was until our bike back!

--We were both biking to a friend's house and some kids were in the alley in front of us. Nathan was pulling the trailer. Suddenly, one of the kids yells out "Hey, it looks like that guy has training wheels!" It was hilarious! Veronica couldn't stop laughing! :)
