My son and DIL moved to a small town, and bought a house close to the town square. I fixed her up with a bike and baby trailer and she rides around town everywhere (not to the major thoroughfares, because she is concentrating on organic food and doesn't need to go anywhere but the farmer's market). She's picked doctors and dentists within biking distance. Her 3 yo son goes, too.

She's even getting a reputation. She had to walk into the bank and leave her bike outside because the ATM wasn't working. The teller asked her if she was that "gal who rides her bike everywhere?" That's too cute. She's about 6 weeks pregnant now, so I'm hoping she doesn't have any complications and can keep riding--and feels up to it--all the way through. (She had major complications last time and spent 10 weeks in the hospital.)

I bought her a Bell Citi commuting helmet. I hope she's wearing it.
