Bicycle (Fahrad) Riding

We are enjoying many bike rides.  Liam can ride a two-wheeler now so we can all go "off-roading" on the extensive network of bike trails.  We're taking advantage of them and enjoying getting out together.  The boys and I would often take a ride during the day before school started.  On the weekend, Greg goes running while Alex and Carter ride along as his escorts.  We often all go biking together, too.  The boys have even gotten used to riding in the drizzle:)  They especially like the puddles that are left after the rain!

Kaleb enjoys himself looking at my back:)...actually he usually falls asleep so all you see is his little helmet.  He's my co-pilot:)

We are getting lots of exercise and enjoying exploring the trails.  Traffic usually gives the right of way to the bicycles which is something to get accustomed to.  If you're sitting at a crosswalk waiting for an oncoming car, they often stop and let you go first.  So kind! 
German regulations are that you have a bell and light on your bike.  You can also register your bike with the local police which gives you a sticker for your bicycle and deters people from stealing it.  There are many bike stores in the little towns (two that I know of in Angermund) but I guess if you really want the best things for your bike you go to the Netherlands where they have EVERYTHING for a bike.  You could bring three kids and your groceries on your bike if you desired!  That's a super mom!:)  We mostly use ours for exercise and recreation, but bikes are certainly a means of transportation here.
