Bike ride.

It was a very nice day in Camden, so I took my bike out for a ride. Perfect temperature, especially for the second week of November, and the beginning of autumn. We have a lovely trail very near my home for riding, walking, or jogging. It used to be for trains, but after the line was unused for a long time, they took up the tracks, and put down asphalt.

This area is a field behind our house, next to a church. You can see the three crosses representing Jesus Christ crucifixion.

Such beautiful fall colors.

Hitch mount bike rack.

There's room for a total of four bikes, although we will only have three at most.

It tilts out of the way to access the back of the car.

I also have an adapter to allow for the cargo carrier to be used at the same time.

New electric bike.

It cost about $400 US including a chain lock and helmets. It is just for quick short trips around our part of Beijing. It is not for bad weather or night or going across town. It can also be used even if the battery is used up. I think Suzanne likes it. Maybe she can learn how to drive it. Of course, she doesn't know how to ride a regular bike. The back seat is not very user friendly for Debora, because she has to put her knees in her chin to use the foot rest. I might could get a seat put on the back for DJ. And then later, Deb could get her own to share with Suzanne. We will have to take it slow until we get used to it. Getting around in traffic isn't that big of a difference than walking, since sometimes you have to walk in the street or get out of the way of cars driving and parking on the sidewalks. When in Beijing, do as the Beijingers.
