Going Green

A few weeks ago my dad bought an electric bike to help save on gas as well as take a further step towards going green. He works about 5 miles from home and on most days he rides his new bike to work.

The bike is not really a moped but it's also not just a bike. You can pedal the bike like a regular bike or you can run it off of battery power and the bike with do all the work. It's pretty cool! It's great for hills and when you're tired. Plus, it is battery powered so there's no need for gas or anything else like that! Definitely a step towards the greener side of life!! Who knows, maybe my dad is the next Ed Begley jr. and we'll have rain buckets and solar panels soon!!?!?

Today, we got to test out the bike while at grandma and pop-pop's house. Aunt Jessica was over and after dinner we headed outside so that everyone could try out the bike and see how it works. Nicholas and Addison loved sitting by and watching everyone ride around. If we had let them, they would have been all over riding it, too!!

Addie wanted to test out the pedals to make sure they work correctly!
