Becky's new bike

It's red. It's zippy. It's passes everything on the road. It's Becky's new bike.



Taking two kids on an old, cheap, slow bike to school each morning and then riding to the subway station was more than any guy should ask of his wife. She has enough to deal with. After looking around for a while, we finally opted for a red electric bike. The three of them can easily ride it together. Being a better brand and new, her bike has no problem passing all the other bikes on the road. Because the traffic in our area is often at a standstill, Becky can even pass the fastest cars weaving in and out of the idling traffic.



I rode her bike to a local McDonalds about a mile away with Josiah on the back. Becky and Amelia took the bus. We left at the same time. Unfortunately for the ladies, it was rush hour. The two of us guys stopped to buy some things, got to McDonalds, ordered, sat down and waited ten more minutes for our beautiful counterparts to arrive. Point proven. A bike is still the most efficient way to make short trips in Beijing.



Now Becky can zoom and zip around all she wants. I don't even mind her flying by me as I peddle along as long as she glances back and winks at me as she goes by.
