    Sounds like the two of you had a wonderful time. How nice you are teaching your daughter to be active and enjoy the outdoors - what a great role model for her!

    Brilliant. Glad you guys had a great time!! Now, if you don't mind... tell this weather to agree with my plans to ride so I can get out and about. Last two weeks it's been either raining or I've been working late!

    I "hear" it'll be near 60 on Saturday with Sunny skies... so I'm hopeful

    Your post gave me a big smile for you and your small girl!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Fingers crossed! Today is cold, rainy and windy so I'm glad I seized the moment and went out yesterday.

    sorry, photo not working!

    And I'm thinking of buying one of these. We can't really justify a Burley as we've had a whole load of unexpected expenses, but this one was recommended by a lbs that I trust.

    We bought the trailer, assembled it, and I did a test ride to nursery and back this morning. It was absolutely fine, nice and light. Traffic was on the whole really positive, lots of smiles and waves and courtesy, and just one inconsiderate person who cut me up at a roundabout. grrrr. The journey is about 2miles each way, of which about half is off-road or on shared paths and the on-road sections are quiet residential streets. I'm pretty proud of myself right now

    WOW, I should say so! This is going to be the start of something great for you and for your small girl. I'm very happy for you both.

    Congratulations! You should be proud. So glad all went well, and I look forward to hearing of more happy adventures.

    ETA: I just noticed the thread title. Lovely to see the positive turn this discussion has taken.
