Decent field trip for a rainy day. I love their plain slices (so did Owen.)

owen was eating some late-season cherry tomatoes in the garden…
kalavinka + bobike.
So, in order to get Owen as acclimated to cycling as early as possible Liz and I decided to throw a child seat on one of my bikes so that we’d have a way to get him out and about as soon as possible. There’s a lot of disagreement on whether child seats are supposed to be front mounted or rear-mounted, but it seems to me that it’s a large bit more interesting for a kid to sit in front and see the road than it is to sit behind and see… my sweaty back. So, I picked up a Bobike Mini front-mounted seat. In order to use a front-mounted seat properly, you have to have a set of bars that allows you to properly reach around the child without whacking your chin into the back of his or her head.
Which brings us to this.
The bars are Nitto B602AA “angled touring” bars. They’re as cruiser-ish as you’d expect, and pretty amusing. Owen seems to like it.
