Monsters on a Bike: December 2011
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 17, 2011. Here's the biking-related news around here:. 1) Yes, those were avocados that the little kids and I collected on a bike adventure. Last week and they were yummy! 2) Jeremy and I (and now the kids) have this crazy idea (daydream? Is this really how much a drum brake should cost? Maybe we really don't need a drum brake after all (unless we really do go to Idaho.). Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Sunday, December 11, 2011. Not biking to school. Well, its actually closer to three mil...

Monsters on a Bike: Our Bikes
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/p/our-bikes.html
We have a garage full of bikes:. Jeremy's commuter bike. This replaced a Specialized Globe that was stolen. This was stolen early 2012. Grrrr. I liked it. Jeremy had been considering buying a folder for some time. When his bicycle was stolen while at work, he walked over to a bike shop, bought this, and rode it home. We call this the "Trail-a-bike Bike". We just leave our Adams Trail-a-bike attached to it all the time. It came with us from Chicago where it braved snow and ice. Kettler Teddy bike seat:.

Monsters on a Bike: May 2012
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 25, 2012. Jonah rides a bike! Jonah rode a bike for the first time today- and he just turned 3 last month! I'm so proud :) Kudos also to his older siblings who decided to teach him and to the whole idea of balance bikes. Jonah has been tootling around for some time on a balance bike on our little bit of backyard concrete. I'm totally convinced they are a better way to teach bike riding than using training wheels. Tuesday, May 22, 2012. All decked out in yellow Walk and Roll T-shirts. Sunday m...

Monsters on a Bike: July 2012
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Carrying a cupboard and a little brother. This morning Jeremy took the bakfiets to pick up a cupboard that we found on Freecycle:. Gabriella (a major ball of energy and super-enthusiastic biker) offered to pull Joshua on the Trail-A-Bike. It worked great, though I was a little nervous at first. Gabi is only 10 (well, almost 11). On the way home, Joshua the bookworm happily sat and read in the bakfiets, while Joey happily rode the Trail-A-Bike. Perfect! Thursday, July 12, 2012.

Monsters on a Bike: March 2012
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 29, 2012. Chatting with Daniella this evening, I had the following little exchange:. Daniella: When I grow up, I am going to buy a bakfiets. Daniella: So I can put my [future] pet dog and all my camping gear in it and zoom off. That sounds so wonderfully fun. I hope she gets to do it someday :). Friday, March 9, 2012. What's left of the bike. Bike, but looked just about like this. Saturday, March 3, 2012. A Road Trip and a Bike Trip. Had a blast sledding and playing:. We also did a lot of...

Monsters on a Bike: September 2012
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. The bikey things we're up to. Sometimes I also hate taking pictures (a bunch of kids junk camera bike and only two hands can be quite a hassle) and I always hate uploading them (why, oh, why can't AT&T build infrastructure so that our DSL can be fast enough to actually watch a YouTube clip? Just kidding. We're even getting less weird; there are now three other cargo bikes regularly at school- another bakfiets, an Xtracycle, and a new Yuba Mundo! Home is just across this ocean.

Monsters on a Bike: November 2012
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Across the Dumbarton Bridge. Getting ready to head out. All packed up and with the girls raring to go, we aimed to get out by 7 AM or so, but ended up leaving a bit after 8. We took a slight detour to the library to return some materials, then hopped onto the Stevens Creek Trail and booked it out toward the Bay Trail and then to IKEA in East Palo Alto to enjoy their Monday free breakfast. (We love free food! On the Bay Trail. Farm in East Palo Alto? We'll see, we'll see. Then ...

Monsters on a Bike: Biking to hiking...
http://monstersonabike.blogspot.com/2012/11/biking-to-hiking.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. The trail started off flat and shady:. We found a yummy strawberry fruit tree:. Then we found a very big hill:. There were great views at the top:. After heading back down, the kids got silly on the trail:. We then finished up the hike, stopped at two playgrounds (and two restrooms), and then ended with dinner at a new cafe near our home. They cafe had games (but the food wasn't quite enough for our big appetites):. All ready to go. The bakfiets lags behind. We would love to mee...

No School Like the Old School – DIY Leg Warmers | iBikeuBike
https://ibikeubike.wordpress.com/2012/12/28/no-school-like-the-old-school-diy-leg-warmers
If I can bike… So can you! December 28, 2012. No School Like the Old School – DIY Leg Warmers. Old sweater or sweatshirt. Fleece and wool work well. 1 yard 1/2″ wide elastic (optional). Buttons for trim (optional). Hold the sweater up to your leg, with the waist ribbing at your ankle. I like mine to cover the top of my shoe and stretch over my heel in length and either thigh high or calf high depending on how much fabric I have. Wherever it reaches, measure your leg’s girth. Cut off the sleeves and exces...

DIY Child's Bike Seat Weather Protector. Here is my new video tutorial to go with the written one:. On Friday I had the pleasure of receiving Jack's new bike seat in the mail, such excitement!

I managed to find a used Peanut Shell seat for $75, after shipping I paid about $112 (you can also find them new from Yuba Bicycles Here. Some industrial strength zip ties for under $2.
