6 Miles, 4 Kids, 2 Bikes

... and 2 bike trailers, of course.
It's been a while since this family has been on a bike ride. We can make all sorts of valid excuses involving real logistical problems--but we really want to be a bike family again. We dusted off the old bikes, and supplemented  our one trailer with another from a friend, and voila, a Hood Bike Caravan.
For our first trip, we went to Riverfront Park, which has a path that runs 3 miles each way down the old Columbia canal. Here are some pictures:


Amy and Sara (yep, it's a little tight)


Claire and Mikala


Amy: Happy to be out of the Trailer at the End of the Trail
Lunch at the Canal Lock (yes Heidi was with us too, we fixed up an old bike from the shed that was just her size)

Sara, Otterly Excited
