Biking with Beau
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 30 June 2009 in People & Portrait.
Welcome to Silly Tuesday. Last Tuesday Beau was in the stroller for a walk. This week, he decided to bike for Silly Tuesday. (Beau has been biking for over 12 years.)

I LOVE IT! Uniquely silly. Beau has the best seat, he can take in the view along the way.
Geared up to the max with all the bells and whistles for this ride. I love the bike, outfit and smile from both you and Beau.
That IS the bike to have! Great contribution for this ST.

Is that a back I see on the seat of the bike? As in, something to lean against? If so, it is a brilliant idea. Happy doggy.

@Anita: Yep, it's the most comfortable seat that you can imagine.
