Pedal-Powered Family - September 27, 2013
What does it require to take your family from Hamilton Canada to Mexico and beyond? Strength, perseverance, resilience...and the right tool for the job! The Wike Premium Double was one of the tools the pedal-powered family relied on to get them over 13 000 km!
On May 11, 2011, the Pedal Powered Family started out from Hamilton, Ontario. The intrepid adventurers included Reuben and Heidi and their two young children, Eden (age 4 when they left) and Harper (almost 2 when they left). The family had an ambitious goal: Bike along the southern border of Canada, down the west coast to Panama City, and return up the east coast. Simple! While we could go on, the Pedal Powered Family kept everyone up to date. But they couldn’t have done it without their trusty Wike!
Since the Wike was an integral part of their journey, we’ve put a few highlights here:
Biking along the Pacific
Rolling along with the trains
A little downtime
Perfect example of going from trailer to stroller!
Not everything needs to be pavement with a Wike.
A group effort
A smooth ride
A nice break after a long day in the saddle
Cycling among the giants
More giants!
No better place to stop for a break
Let the journey continue!
