it is not about getting it shape... it is not about decreasing fuel dependency... it is about riding a bike

yesterday it occurred to me that I had not been doing enough post school bike riding with the boys...

with the boys at different schools

and an early morning work schedule I do not have the routine that allows for a simple procedure

previously I would drop the boys off at school with their bikes

then ride my bike to their school and then ride home with them

but now...

now with my early morning work schedule it is working out that my wife Lisa is handling early morning drop off and I am handling afternoon pick up

so yesterday I got creative...
in hindsight it is obvious

as I was preparing to head across town to get my son I debated about the bike

a glance out the window I noticed my neighbor's car has a bike rack

and well... my neighbor also has a child at my son's school

sure I could ask her to pick him up

but instead I asked her to give me a ride with my bikes to school... she abliged

I love the post school bicycle ride

I know I enjoy it more than my son... he enjoys it

even through all of his complaints I know he enjoys it

and that post school bike ride

it is not about conserving fuel

it is not about getting in shape

it is about getting on the bike

riding a bike to ride a bike

it is simple and pure

I like riding a bike

I love riding a bikes with my kids
