The bike train - on water


our ride

We don't have the bike train around, but we do have the kayak-tube-train!

I've used it to bring the boys over to Dewey Beach, as well as the lighthouse at the opening of Sunapee Harbor. Camper has even taken a boat nap on it!

We get similar looks (and comments) to those that we get when the bike-train is in operation.

Now that Liam has discovered that he can actually ride a bike, he provides the pedal-power and I steer. Camper is kind of like our horn; he's yelling most of the time.

Seriously, when Liam starts pedaling, it really pushes me along. We'll be coming up to an intersection and I'll yell, "green light! Pedal, pedal, pedal!" and I can feel the bike accelerate as he really starts pushing.

On the flats, I stop pedaling completely and let him provide the power. He loves it. He'll yell, "check it out Daddy, I can push you and pull Camper at the same time!

We were driving around east Portland yesterday. I can't wait for us to move into PDX and have access to the Springwater Corridor and Eastbank Esplanade.
