Hello, Everyone.
Thank you, Rachael.
I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts over the past couple
of months.
My daughter, Anna, was born on May 29th. I had her at home at
my mother's house in Toronto, helped by midwives, one of whom has
known me since I was around seven years old.
My mum cut the cord, so three generations of the women of our
family were involved in that act.
Since then, we've all been getting used to our new lives, so
other things have fallen by the wayside.
However, we did manage to put together a bike-shop-in-a-box
for my friend's First Nation community-- it all fits onto a bike
trailer we made for it!
I'd like to thank everyone who posted suggestions and help
about that project. Thank you.
I reread everything you wrote to me, and also many of the
other good posts about tools and equipment that people have shared
on this list serve. You are all wonderful people and I love
learning from you.
I'm disorganized right now, so you'd have to be patient while
I farted around getting it to you, but I would be happy to send
info about our portable shop to those who'd like it.
I have new questions for all of you now:
I'm sure many of you are in families of commuter cyclists--
how young were your children when you started putting them in bike
trailers or into one of those little seats?
Did you ride with them during their first winter of life, or
did you wait until they were a little bigger for all-season
communter cycling?
Do any of you get asked for help figuring out how to be bike
dependant with little kids when you are at your shops?
Thank you all again.
I've included a couple pictures of my kid, just because I'm
besotted with her.
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer.
Sasha
