My daughter and I had our first biking expedition to our New World Supermarket today. Knowing we could only carry two backpacks worth of groceries took some planning and involved discussions with the children about what we really needed. Maybe the biking experiment will be a money saver in more ways than one.
It was nice to arrive at the bike park and seeing a father and his two children arriving just after us - all three piled onto his bicycle. Great to know we weren't alone in our efforts. Maybe we would be the new participants in a biking revolution around our city. The journey there was much easier than the return journey, however, with very full backpacks to cope with. I didn't mind, but my daughter wasn't used to biking with a backpack and found the experience harder than she expected. However, we made it home and felt proud of having done the job in an hour and a half which is probably not much longer than it would have taken using the van. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next cycling challenge!
