The Agony and the Ecstasy of Family Biking (Part 2)

The Ecstasy


With The Beest in The Shop, our Sunday looked uncertain. The beautiful weather beckoned. But, drive somewhere? Us? Could we...?

We piled into the car with the Islabike and Strider and drove to the Trestle pump track at Barnum North Park, near 6th Avenue and Federal. I knew immediately it would be a huge hit!


This place is great for any kid who isn't using training wheels, including balance bikers like our 2 year old!


A freshly painted gazebo covers a few picnic tables. The entire pump track is visible from there.


Still aren't sold? Walk a little way on the pedestrian bridge over 6th Avenue for great views of the city.


The pump track is great for little kids, but if any of you biking families have older kids or daredevil parents, check out the huge track at the same park.


We'll be investing in some elbow pads and knee pads soon. Despite the scraped knees and elbows, the kids had a blast and got a LOT more comfortable on their bikes! It was so much fun, it was... ecstasy.
