First Bike Ride

Despite the fact that Pittsburgh has some serious hills, including Canton Ave, the unofficial steepest street in the world with a 37% grade (see a crazy cyclist here: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1344/1403140318_9f138eb6cb_o.jpg), Ryan is committed to cycling all around the city - rain, snow or shine - just ask about the "snow pig".

To this end, he has also researched and purchased a pretty blue, 25 lb trailer to pull with his mountain bike. We plan to use it to take Sadie to the dog park, bring veggies back from the farmers' market, or run errands (obviously, not all at the same time). Here is Sadie enjoying her first ride around the block. The carrier is intended for dogs (or cargo, but not kids) and comes with a leash attachment.You'd think she thought we were going really fast, but how fast can Ryan pull a 25 pound trailer with a 25 pound moving dog?
