Bicycling through Pregnancy on the Monterey Bay

As we were leaving this Santa Cruz County beach in the first week of October, we naturally noticed that bicycles were the preferred mode of transportation for some beach-goers, including the four pictured below.

The happy foursome paused to chat with us and graciously allowed shooting these photos for Bicycling Monterey.

We shared with the expectant mom that we too had biked while pregnant, grateful that good health allowed bicycling all nine months. And that we loved how drivers typically slowed and gave extra space upon seeing an obviously pregnant rider!

For more expectant people who bike, see our 2012 post “Biking through Pregnancy.”
