I also really enjoy the different riding experience when I'm with her. I love going out for a couple hours riding fast and pretending I'm a real roadie, but an hour long ramble on a bike path where we stop all the time to take pictures is just delightful sometimes.

This reminds me that we need to get my wife a new helmet and I need to tune up her bike - the boy's bday is a week away, and one of the things that he wants is to go on a family ride. My wife hasn't ridden her bike since he was in the Burley.

For a splinter, you just need sharp forceps that have some ridges in them. Easy peasy. If you don't have that, you can get away with a sewing needle.

So mrs bam has been showing interest in cycling since I have started. But every bike I pick out she’s not interested in. Plus, I think If I did buy her her very own road bike after about a month or two it would just start collecting dust.
This popped up today, and I could totally see her riding this with me. Now if I can only convince her.

We used to have levers rather than round knobs to open the door. The cats would jump up and use their paw to pull on the lever to let themselves in.

We (in the chilly heartland) count too!
Surgery complete. I ended up using one of my hefty syringe needles. No post-op nurse to care for my foot. Sad.
