Thanks for the welcome Ned!!
Oh the biketrailer has been a Godsend for me. Not having a car I would walk everywhere with the baby in the buggy to do all of my errands. Now I love to hike... I could hike all day in the mountains but walking on pavement was killing my knees. I couldn't work out because my knees hurt too much from walking, I love being able to cover distance and to take the baby into the woods so he can enjoy the trees and serenity - I'd never make it that far if I was just walking with him. Also handy for those times where I notice he's falling asleep and need to kill some time to give him a good nap.
