Modified Ride

Last summer, we had a major mishap with Mallory's trail-behind bike.  We wrecked.  It was awful!  She had went to reposition herself in the seat and turned the bike on it's side.
Lot's of road rash! OUCH. :(

Todd has spent a great deal of time modifying the trail-behind bike to make it safer for Mallory.

The seat now sits lower and is centered over the wheels.
He also removed the pedals and added foot rests.

Mallory loves it!
She begs to go for a ride every evening.

It's a good workout as well with pulling the extra 100 lbs.

A few more modifications are in the works.
Mallory wants the bike painted YELLOW.  Her favorite color.
We are also going to replace the velcro straps with a seatbelt.

We did it!

Mallory's school had their 2-mile Run/Walk/Roll today.
Mallory wanted me to partcipate with her while she rode her bike.
It's a fun event that is hyped around activity and wellness.
We completed 1.4 of the 2-mile route which I felt was quite the accomplishment.  I ran alongside Mallory most of the time.

Mallory got a kick out of squeezing the hand-brake every time we would hit a good stride. 
She thought it was funny.
I didn't.

Afterwards, Mallory enjoyed handing water out to all the participants. Especially to her buddy, Noah.
