Biking (on train tracks?!?)

Today was awesome. My aunt served us breakfast, and then took us out to an old strip of train tracks. This strip of tracks was not changed, but the thing riding on it had changed. We got train-ish bikes, and rode for 14+ kilometers on them. They were special bikes. They had a bike with a sidecar, so no balance was needed. The wheels were very wide, so they fit over the tracks. The breaks weren't on the handles; rather I had to step on them near the pedals. There were no gears, but they weren't needed anyways. (Denmark is flat, despite the 157 feet a ran up in a single minute yesterday during my 4 mile progression run...) It was outside (of course) thus we were subject to Danish weather. It rained pretty much all day, and I LOVED IT.  I could pull two people on this special bike. I ended up pulling my mom for almost 7 kilometers. There I stopped and had lunch. This was the best lunch I've ever eaten. It wasn't amazing because I was hungry, but because the food was legit good! Then I rode back alternating with pulling my aunt, mom and cousins. Then we drove home and stopped by two church's, but both were locked. I hate when church’s are locked. I really wanted to see it, because it is so old. (look up Ribe domkirke, or Odense domkrike or Roskilde domkirke or Aarhus domkirke.) In all today was rather uneventful, because we didn't do too much. But I still thought it was a great day. Biking on train tracks in the rain, is super fun. You will have to do it at some point; you can come with me, because I know I will do that again. SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
