Going for a bike ride thanks to Freecycle...

We were finally able to find Kaila a bike seat through a great group we are a part of called Freecycle (<---I've linked it for you). For those of you who have not heard of Freecycle, it's exactly what it sounds like: free recycling. It's a non-profit organization (therefore, things you freecycle are tax deductible) that operates virtually through yahoo groups where people post things they are wanting to get rid of in hopes that someone else can use it, and therefore keep it out of the landfills. We've seen everything from empty egg cartons & milk jugs to washers/dryers & cars being freecycled! It's recycling at it's greatest because you not only can offer things up for grabs that's free for the taking (and always free, that is one of their rules), but if you are looking for a particular item, you can post a wanted ad, which is how we got this bike seat. Thank you so much to the person who freecycled this bike seat on to us, we intend to do the same when we are done with it :)

Now on to the priceless picture of daddy & Kaila going for a bike ride...

That's awesome you guys got it for free! We were a part of one in WA, but never freecycled anything! I'll have to look into it in HI...
