Extremely cool. This Saturday our neighbourhood is having a community bike swap. We’re meeting at the park for an hour to swap bikes. I’m humbled to live in such a fantastic community.
I hope it becomes an annual event! What an awesome idea. Anybody else have neighbourhood bike swaps?
The picture below is of my kids. Lochlain’s on the rip-off Kettler Trike and Aerowyn’s holding her recently acquired Recycle Cycle’s special. Get this! Kids bikes from Recycle-Cycle’s are FREE. We saw similar bikes at our local bike stores for between 60 and 70 dollars, this was free and we’ll probably donate twice that every year to the working centre for such important work.

It seems like our kids are outgrowing their bikes as soon as we get them.
Awesome!
Did you know that May is National Bike Month?

That’s very cool for our friends south of the border, however here in Canada the first week of June is our Commuter Challenge week :)

We’ll be cheering you on, but we still get snow in May.
