Ever since he started up on two wheels, Sam has been asking about when we could do Bicycle Sunday. During a handful of summer Sundays the city shuts down a 3.5-mile stretch of road along the lake between our house and Seward Park to motorized vehicles.
Sam has done the route pushed in a stroller, pulled in the trailer behind my bike and pedaled a portion of the ride on his training wheels. Finally, today was the day to do it all on two wheels.
And do it he did.
He refused to stop until we reached the end at Seward Park where we stopped for lunch, playground time and of course, a popsicle.
He rode all the way back home, stopping to play with a friend at a nearby park with a friend. Then, in true Energizer Bunny fashion, demanded to ride his skateboard as soon as we got home.
Oh, and it was the hottest day of the year, topping out at 93 degrees!
Nothing was going to stop Sam from his first official Bicycle Sunday.
