Ride biking

That may sound like a phrase one of my kids would say, but it's not.  I'm the one who keeps saying it that way.  I think I've lost some brain cells through my children, and I cannot get some phrases straight anymore.

Scott was able to get himself a bike about a week ago.  It had a flat tire, that took us a few days to try to repair, then give up and just buy a new tube, so we didn't get to try it out until Wednesday.  However, we've been biking everyday since then.  Seriously, so fun.  We went a few times, just the two of us in the evenings, and my legs are STILL sore.  And then yesterday, we went for our first family bike ride, where we were all on bikes.  

We went on a family "bike" ride a couple weeks ago, with all of us on bikes, except Scott, who rode Tyler's scooter.  I thought that riding a scooter was going to slow him down compared to biking, but Scott and I had a race (he on the scooter, me on my bike) and he totally beat me. 

I could not believe it.  So we traded, me on the scooter, him on the bike, and he still beat me. ha ha.   Apparently, he's just better all around.  But riding that scooter was WAY harder than riding a bike.  It was a lot more physically exerting (and challenging for me).  

So it was nice that he got a bike, and we could leave the scooter in the garage.  His bike is nicer than mine-it has shocks on the seat, a cushier seat pad, and is just in better condition-so he let me ride it yesterday.  We had so much fun.  Brought back SO MANY memories of family bike rides when I was growing up.
