Bicycle Built for Two

It's all because I  love too much.  Atleast that's what I think.  I don't like getting left at home and some of the longer hikes require a ride in a front pac.  Some of you might not know or remember, but long before I started blogging, the Dr. told the peeps - and then showed them ...my ENLARGED heart (on  Xray)...No worries, I am okay...mom forces a pill down my throat that is supposed to slow or stop the enlargement of my loving heart  BOTH morning and night...she used to hide it in bread, but I grew wise to that trick.  Oh - and Doc also said not to let me "overdo it" !?  WHAT? 

I say my heart just grew bigger and bigger because I  love too much.  So no more long long hikes.

Anyways....that brings me to the bicycle built for two...

We found a really snazzy bike basket online....it's called a Snoozer Sporty and it hooks to the handlebars on the front of my peep's bike and the best part is, it has a rain protector!  Yep, if the weather turns bad, I can stay dry and still poke my 'lil head out to see where we're going if I want to.

Ofcourse, Santa had already given me DOGGLES for Christmas, so I have to wear those when we go for our rides on our bicycle built for two.  We go pretty fast down the hills and I don't want the itty bitty no see-ums to get in my pretty 'lil eyes! 

We've been out on several adventures, but yesterday's trip was the longest and best one yet!

So here's the scoop from the beginning.

My peep says "Scrappy, do you want to go biking?"  (key word here GO)



We gather everything we need and load the bike on the car and off we drive!  Once we get there, I get my harness on and mom gets the bike off the car and  puts on her helmet.  It was pretty chilly yet, so my bear blanket came with just in case.


We get all ready and OFF we go!  The start of this trip was a fun steep downhill!  Whee!


We rode for quite awhile and along the way, the birds sang and gophers were whistling...

                                                              GO Scrappy GO



              The sun played games with our shadows....look at this one...we look so funny!


                            And  THIS one turned out to be My Peeps Favorite PIC of the Day!

See our silly shadow?

                                                              Here was the view for me!


  Then My Peep thought I needed a little exercise, so here I am out & about...

C'mon Slowpoke!


 Eventually, I went back in the basket and we headed back to the car.  I decided it was best to just sleep on the way back.




That first Downhill was now a very daunting UPHILL for a certain Peep!  If I had a one of those cameras, I would've taken a picture of her huffing and puffing to get me back up to that car!

  5. Way to go, Scrappy and Mom! You both get to enjoy the outdoors and Scrappy is not stressed, unlike Mom on the way back uphill. Love the Doggles.

  6. You remind me of that song called "Born to be Wild" because whenever someone rides a bike or a motorcycle, that music just plays in my head.

    Well, it seems that you have such a great time.

    Huggies and Cheese,

  7. OMD!!! That is the COOLEST thing EVER Scrappy! I would LOVE one of those (but I weight 11kg so it might not support me!). It's fantastic that you can still go out on these adventures - your peeps are the best. And She said to say her favourite pic was the same favourite as your peeps - it's a lovely, happy, wonderful photograph.

    Happy cycles!

    Woof.

  17. hey Scrappy,

    What a fantastically fun adventure! Fresh air, being with your peep, singing birds and whistling gophers - living the life! Wonderful photos, and I too find your mom's fav photo to be mine! You look pawsome with your sunglasses on and your ears standing up!

    I have never ridden on a bike but it sure looks fun. I wonder if they make a basket big enough for me? :->

    Suka

    P.S. Scrappy, I agree with you, that your heart is so big because you have so much love in you and so much love to give. And I am furry glad to know such a loving, hug-hearted pup! <3
