Goodbye, RAV4.
Hello, Xtracycles!
Well, it only took us three seasons - spring, summer, and fall - to decide that we no longer needed our second car. So we said goodbye to the RAV, and we're doing just fine with our one other car and our bikes. We haven't really driven the second car for months, so we thought it was time to let it go.
It's easy to cycle in the summer, but we wanted to test our resolve during the colder, rainier months of autumn. We still love it. There are plenty of days when it's clear or just a little rainy. We bundle up a bit more and pedal on our merry way. We're also learning to enjoy bus rides along the many routes available to us all around town. Next fun challenge: snow!
Hooray for no more insurance, gas, and repair and maintenance for an extra vehicle! Hooray for cool autumn days, riding along streets with pretty fallen leaves, warm clothes, and rain gear!
Life is good.

You guys are such an inspiration! :)
Thanks, Todd. We think you're pretty cool, too!
Thanks for keeping the RAV in the family. At least she's not gone forever.
Congrats on your new extra money!
Though of you today... Saw a gal riding her xtracycle in Eugene with her Turkey day groceries on the back. Emily was the one who noticed the style of bike and was excited and said that's like Uncle Don's and Aunt Marcia's!!

Yes, Rae, the RAV is still in the family for a while. I thought you'd like that.
Ann, we're so glad Emily is thinking about us on our bikes. We did a Thanksgiving shopping trip on the Xtracycles last week, too. It was fun.
