mama-bicycle

For 3 years, I have been bringing Rey out on his baby stroller. Walked like 3km to and fro to his weekly classes, and at least 4km to his fav indoor playland almost every weekend. See the bicycle above? It is now my new mode of transport. I have denied the convenience of having a mama-bicycle citing the dangers involve, such as, narrow streets, many cases of children falling off the bicycle when their mamas are not attentive and impatient drivers roaring down the streets.

but after seeing how one of my mama friends skillfully transporting her 2 kids on front and back, I decided to give it a try. Afterall, this is the only way out if you want to save on transport fees! I borrowed this bicycle from Rey's grandpa. It is very BIG and HEAVY! I should have stood next to the bicycle to show you how big it is.

After 1 week on the bicycle, now I'm so confident! HAHAHAHA! Rey's trips to his park and library doubled. There were some embarrassing moments too. I got 'stuck' on this slope and needed help from a worker to push the bicycle from behind. Rey was very amused. He was also concerned when I screamed "kowaii kowaii (scrary!)" on our trip to his pool. It was Rey who helped me conquer my fear.

R: mummy, if you're scared, you can say "baaaaa".
I: oh, ok..."baaaa..."
( at that time, I finally understood why Rey was screaming "baaaa..." all the way from house.
