やっと念願の自転車4台が揃いました。パパのはもうあったけど、あとの3台を新規購入。当初、Targetで全部買ったんだけど、どうも2台が調子が悪く、返品したのち今度はToysrusで調達。1週間がかりでやっと思い通りの自転車が揃い、みんな満足満足。さっそく、息子の通う中学校までみんなで行ってみたけれど、ちょっと怖かった。娘はまだ補助輪つきなので、がたがたした歩道にひっかかたり、大きな道を渡るときちゃんと渡れるか心配したり、歩道脇の家の車庫から車がバックしてこないか注意したり、はたまた疲れたよ。やっぱり当面、自転車は公園か海辺のバイクパスでやることにしよう。
Look at our bikes! We had to buy three bikes, since only dad had his. We first purchased three bikes at Target, but two of them were not up to our expectation, so we returned them and got something else at Toysrus. It took us a whole week, but now each of us has what we like the best. Eager to try the new bikes, we took a little ride to our son's middle school. It was just a mile or so, but oh how tired I got. Our daughter still rides one with training wheels, and it sometimes got trapped with uneven pavements. I worried so much if she was able to handle the direction when we went across a busy street. You also need to watch for cars backing up from carports beside the sidewalk. At least for a while, we'd better stick to parks and bike paths on the beach, we decided after all.
