New bikes!

Well, we are a real dutch citizens now. Not just because we are officially registered at the town hall but also because we have joined the common and vital method of transportation, cycling! And we are not just owners of any bike, no we now have a bakfiets (bike with carrier) and a moederfiets (mother bike)!
Think the pictures speak for itself! In the bakfiets you can carry up to four children on these benches with straps or a carseat and child like we are with space for the pram base and bit of shopping too! Pretty cool we think and the only way to be able to cycle with Esther until she can sit in the front seat of the moederfiets. Everyone has these bikes, specially designed for mums carrying their children. We bought them of ebay and we had great fun cycling together. Naomi loves sitting in both bikes and the bakfiets sends Esther mainly off to sleep even though its quite a bumpy ride at times. It will be our exercise too as Chris is planning to cycle to work and I'll be taking Naomi to pre-school three times a week in the bakfiets. In case you are wondering where the helmets are it's just not done here! There are very safe cycle lanes everywhere. So grandparents don't worry!
