4th of July: First Bike Ride

We took Dante on his first bike ride the weekend of the 4th of July. At first he moaned, groaned and protested every step of the way. He whined when we put him in the seat. Major gripes for the helmut (he HATES hats). All pouts quickly dissolved when we took off and Dante could feel the wind in his face. Smiles and laughter shortly followed and now we LOVES the bike and looks forward to our weekend rides.

For the 4th we rode over the Brooklyn Bridge, around Brooklyn Heights and down to Fulton Street Park in DUMBO. Along the way we stopped for photos and to enjoy the Olafur Eliasson waterfalls, which can be seen from the Brooklyn Bridge.

I invented the baby bike sleeper en route when Dante fell asleep in the bike seat. I got a roll of toilet paper and looped a bungee cord through it and attached it to the seat. It was like a fluffy pillow!
