Mom on bike

[Zen]

I think I know your dad.

Riding a bike wouldn't be anything but good for your mom. Please ride with her (she needs some time away from your dad )

And here I thought this would be a thread all about me.

Seriously, your Mom will have a hard time of it with your Dad informing her at every opportunity that biking is a Bad Thing. Do help her out by announcing that the two of you are going to ride every week - a Girls Ride Out - and that he's on his own during this time. Often a non-negotiable statement is more effictive than a polite request in cases like this. But don't expect miracles (I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I'm full of hot air, here.)

And good for you for getting your Mom out and about.

Why wait until Christmas?

As Zen said, I think I know your dad, too.

If you do commit to a ride once a week...can you keep the bike at your place so it is not a constant reminder to your dad that she has it?

Put your little tyke in a trailer behind you and then it truely will be a "Girls Family Outing!" AND...it will give your mom something to report back to your dad about (what the little one does, says....) go to a park so her stories will be about slides and swings...not bikes!


I hope this all works out for you and your mom...I think you need it as much as she does!

Hope you are happily pedaling with your mom soon!!!

How nice that you and mom are going to be bike buddies. I'm your Mom's age and that is one of the reasons I started to ride. I'll do most anything to spend with my grown kids and the teen grandkids. What a cool looking bike she has picked out. Many happy miles to both of you. Who knows, maybe the two of you will have so much fun the Dad will want to join in after a bit.
