It’s a bike trainer!

By , July 29, 2011 10:45 am

The big box had a bike trainer in it! It’s from Steven’s dad and brother! What a surprise! Thanks guys!

I lusted after bike trainers last winter when it looked like this outside:

I can’t wait to use it. Steven thought I should use it while I am working from home. I think that sounds like a fun challenge (to bike and use a computer at the same time).

Steven also made me this awesome card (I made an animated gif of it):

My actual birthday isn’t until Sunday, but Steven wanted me to open some of my gifts early!

      You balance the sprocket on the back wheel of the bike between those two bars, then you can ride the bike inside and just spin the back pedal! You can still shift and everything!

    Yay! I hope you love your bike trainer as much as I love mine!! (That’s what Tom got me when I broke my foot in January because he said I couldn’t ride my bike in the snow…silly man)

    Have an awesome birthday!!!

    What wonderful gifts! Steven sounds like me. My husband’s birthday is today and I made him open his gifts two days ago.

    I was right!!! Steven actually asked Jason about bike trainers which is how I had a clue 🙂

    And the gift from Steven is cute!

    Wish I could be there for your birthday. Fingers crossed the weather cooperates at the river!

  13. What a fun gift! You’ll get so much use out of it when it’s all snowy and nasty out! Love the card too. Happy early birthday!

    Have a delightfully wonderful bday.
