Olive donned new helmet on Sunday and joined her boy racer playmate Jordy for a spin round East Coast Park. Neither toddler broke a sweat though as auto-wallahs Phil and David and dabba-wallahs Sandy and Dora were hired for the afternoon to drive and dispense snacks along the route. This was Olive's first time on a bike and she had great fun speeding round the park with the wind in her face, looking at all the other kids cycling and rollerblading. Sandy and I needed the exercise but after cycling just a mile and burning off ten calories, we were sapped of energy and popped into Komala's Indian restaurant for biryani, vadai, poori and chapati. (Phil's carbo-loading breakfast of five roti prata with mutton curry obviously didn't do the trick.)
