Bridge Pedal

Bridge Pedal

Click on photo to get to the album. Michael and I have enjoyed participating in Portland's annual Bridge Pedal in past years and were excited to take Tyler on his first Bridge Pedal today. We did the 5-bridge family ride (11.5 miles). It is a rare opportunity to bike without traffic and on some bridges that don't normally allow bike traffic (I-5 and I-405). Michael pulled Tyler in the trailer the entire ride, which can be quite a challenge on the inclines up to the top of some of the bridges. Tyler took about a 30-minute nap during the first part of the ride, but seemed to enjoy the rest of the ride. We have been using a pillow in the trailer to make him more comfortable because he is still a little too short for his head and helmet to be up high enough to reach the helmet "pocket".
