The trail-a-bike Will’s grandparents bought him arrived, today. When we returned from school it was sitting on the front porch in it’s shipping box. Not one for surprises, he had opened the box before I was even out of the car. “Now I can push daddy up the hills?” Smart kid.

We picked out the Burley Kazoo because the reviews I read said that other trailer bikes had inferior attachments which lead to unstable bikes and in some cases, detached copilots. Our bike rides are exciting enough without those events. While I type, the boys are quietly assembling the attachments and readying the wheels. I suspect we’ll be riding to the soccer game on Saturday. … That is if we can figure out how to attach the pannier rack. Woohoo!

On another note, my brother’s house was hit by lightening. I can’t imagine what he said/did that was so bad… Anyway, the damage to the electrical system in his house is apparently too extreme for the helper or the electrician they called, and they were referred to one of the larger chains who should have the tools required to troubleshoot and identify what will need to be replaced. What an ordeal. At this point, it seems most of the electronics survived. Thankfully they were insured, leaving them out the deductible and time it will take to get everything back to working order.
