My mother has generously provided for a new Burley for Ava to ride around in once she gets a helmet. Today I put it together and got it hooked up to my recumbent in preparation for the biking season ( I’ve been a bad biker and haven’t been on my Volae all winter).
This is a really, really nice carrier. And the build was a snap, which is great. After I got everything put together, I went over to the local hardware store and got some supplies to create a fancy light pole for the back of my recumbent (since it sits so low, you know).
I took a quick spin up the street after everything was hooked up, and it seems to work great. I’m hoping to be able to drop off Ava at daycare on my way to work on the days I bike, which would be great. She was outside with me while I was getting things put together, and she kept asking me to put her in the Burely. I hope this means she’ll like it.
The only problem is that there’s a tremendous amount of car traffic around here in the morning. I think I can work around it if I can manage to get out of here early enough, before the high school kids start showing up for school. My plan is to take Ava to daycare in the Burley and then leave it there while I ride on to work. Shouldn’t be a problem. You’ll know when I know whether it works.
