This Bike Is So Cool


I can not tell you how much fun it has been these past few weeks with Arnold. August was the month that I really got used to the bike. I took it out on my own with Dan, at first I was concerned as to whether I would be able to get Dan in on my own, it always seemed a little "hard". But Kevin had mad an improvement to the hold down for Dan's chair and it all was so easy. So there was no stopping us. I introduced biking to my lovely friend Shirley and we had a few great trips. Dan and I went to see friends, zipping up and down the roads around here. We even got to christen the hood, due to the storm brought by Ike. We had an appointment to see some people who are going to be making a wrap for the side car thanks to a generous gift to Daniel from our friend Mary who owns the best massage spa http://holistichealthspanj.com The weather looked like rain was coming, the computer said that it would rain in the afternoon, our apt was 10am so we went anyway. Whilst we were there huge black clouds were being blown across the sky, I had a job I had to deliver to Oakhurst, some 40 mins north. If I did not deliver it that day it would be difficult as the week was getting busy, so I asked Dan if we should go or not (this way I could blame him !!!) Dan was very decisive with his yes so I talked myself into believing that he knew something I didn’t, well my son knows nothing, it lashed down on us 15 minutes after we left the sign place. I pulled under a tree and put the canopy hood up, this was the first time that we had used it. I must say I am impressed, it went on just fine and worked fantastic, I did not have to worry about Daniel getting wet or cold and he liked it too. I put my rain jacket on and after a few thunder booms we set off again. It rained for the rest of the day, by time we got home I was very wet as I did not put my rain pants on - don’t ask!- and my hands were drenched, it was still a great great ride though and Arnold handled like a BMW should.
