The Boulder Life

Boulder is crazy for bicycles. In fact, I think cyclists have more rights on the road than cars, and the path system is so comprehensive that you can get from any point in Boulder to any other point on a bike or multi-use path. So naturally, once of the first things we did when we got here was to buy a Burley (a double bike trailer) to pull the girls behind our bikes. Clio, especially, loves it. Whenever we head out of the house, she asks "can we go on the bikes?" She loves it so much, in fact, that this pohoto-phobic kid allowed an entire photo shoot inside the Burley yesterday afternoon, as we prepared to head off to meet my cousin Jesse and his wife Catherine's good friends for dinner (they also just relocated.) Throughout the shoot, Clio made the same exact face, except when she broke to say "Mom, I'm smiling!"

Indeed.

And, just for fun, a little flashback to Clio's first Burley run, with her cousin Lucia, not long after her first birthday.
