The Pandas have seen lots of exciting things since our last post! We have been in 4 states, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ontario. We went through Cleveland and swam a few times in Lake Erie. We also met up with our parents, and it has been so nice and relaxing to be with them for a few days. Dad (aka Panda Papa) has been so much fun to cycle with and Mom has been great support. Today the whole family rode along the Canadian side of the Niagara River and we all got great views of Niagara Falls!
I would like to thank everyone for their immense support of Sarah during the trying time following the kitten incident. Since you all took so strongly to the concept, I presume you all want to hear more about bungeeing.
Not native to the sport of cycling, bungeeing is something that cross-country cyclists do many times a day. It is how we attach items as diverse as sleeping bags, pots & pans, wet bathing suits and bottles of beer to our bikes. It is important that the bungee not be too tight or too loose. Bungeeing can be hard for me since I have lost strength in my hands, and I have to either decrease the volume I am trying to bungee by sitting on my sleeping bag to squish it or ask one of my sisters for help.
When I picture bungeeing animals, I imagine them lying flat on their stomachs with their chins on their arms docilely enjoying the views. Sarah pictures them lying on their backs under tight bungees, wriggling around and squealing. Cate does not think bungeeing animals is a good idea; she wants a trailer or a handle bar bag.
The idea of bungeeing started with the Story of Davy the Raccoon (see story somewhere below). Davy and his family love to be bungeed!
