Whee Ride

In India, a bicycle seats five (man on the seat, wife side-saddle on the carrier over the back wheel carrying infant, son on handle bars, daughter side-saddle on top-bar). Jo had a brilliant idea and bought a contraption on Amazon so we can start heading in that direction. Here's what the product picture from Amazon looks like:
On Saturday, Carol and Jo and Vivian and I found a semi-flat 2-mile section of the hill country and went for a spin. Vivian loved every bit of it. On the downhills, she'd grab her helmet with both hands (to stop if from flying off?) and scream "wheeeee.....". On uphills, she'd push her head back to look up at me a shout encouragements "Go daddy, go".

When she woke up from her nap, she asked Jo if she could go on a "whee ride". In the evening, when it got dark and stormy, Vivian and I stole out shoe-and-helmet-less and rode up and down the driveway a few times. She just absolutely loved the wind in her hair - and couldn't stop laughing.

I see some bicycling in our future.
