The weather was pleasant this morning. Not sunny at all. So we headed to East Coast and rented a twin to ride along the beach for a good hour after our breakfast.
Gavin sat quietly in front on the child seat throughout the ride, enjoying the breeze and smell of the sea, while the two of us slaved at the pedals behind him.
There weren’t that many people at the beach today which was a surprise. A handful of bikers, some roller bladers and a few photographers who were snapping pictures of a bikini-clad model posing in the waters.
However, what started out for us as a leisure cycle became a strenuous ride later when the weather took a turn and the haze came to haunt the beach. It smelt horrible and we had to pedal really hard back to the bicycle rental station.
Just as well. As by the time we returned the bike, not only were our legs worn out, but both our crotches were numbed from sitting too long on the bike. Haha. We could hardly walk properly for a while after that! And Gavin, who was seated comfortably throughout, was of course spared.
Do you have to pedal in tandem with your husband when riding the bicycle? Or you can pedal indipendantly?
Loong: More or less, if we want to move at the same speed cos the bicycle is heavier…

That is one of the reasons why I hated to ride bicycles…..probably that is why Rayner till now doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle…kekekeke
Jan: You don’t let him try to ride?

That’s the thing about bicycles huh?? Always making the crouch painful after riding for a while.
ZM: Ah, must be that. Didn’t crossed my mind at all…
