Thanks to Emily Laki for the guest post.

Going on long bike rides with my family is my favorite summer time activity. This year my husband bought me a bike that he saw one night on our Direct tv. It is a cruising bike for me because I wanted to retire my mountain bike for the year until my baby is a little older. This new bike was perfect for a baby seat.

I started taking our baby on short trips to the store and back until he got used to riding on the bike. Now he is able to ride for an hour, when we take our family bike rides. We enjoy riding as a family because we are able to go where ever we want and the other children love having that control.

We play follow the leader through our small town in the mornings so that we can get a break from being in the house. The older children like to ride their bikes to go visit people in town, so we will all go to see their aunt across town on the weekends.

Biking is wonderful and my family and I use it for recreation but also transportation. This helps us help the environment, which we are very concerned with these days. We hate to put the bikes in storage each fall and can’t wait to get them back out again for summer.
