After a whole summer of talking about getting a bike trailer for Thomas, we finally got one last weekend! I know its kind of silly to buy one when there are so few weeks left of good biking weather before snow hits, but I have to admit its my fault that we didn't get one sooner. Ryan wanted to go buy one all summer, but I was afraid to get one at Walmart or Target, because I didn't think they had the mechanism that keeps the trailer from tipping over if the bike towing it tips over. I'd heard a few stories about that happening to people, and I was so worried when I thought about Ryan or I biffing it with Thomas in the trailer! So I wanted to look for one that I was sure had that safety feature, but bike trailers everywhere else, like at biking shops, were crazy expensive! When we were looking around I couldn't believe how much some of them cost! $400, $500, $800??? Nuts. No way were we spending that much! So I finally caved and we got one from Target, and it turns out that it does have something that prevents it from tipping over with the bike (even though it didn't mention that on the box or in the info I read online). It also converts into a stroller, which will come in handy! When we took Tommy out for his first ride in his trailer on Saturday evening, he loved it! He was so excited and he kept saying "Faster, Faster Daddy!" Its fun to have a way to go on family bike rides now. I just hope this good weather will keep up for a little while longer! And honey, I will freely admit, I really wish now that we had gotten one sooner. =)
