It is amazing that year after year as the snow melts I turn my thoughts to the warm sun and the inevitable tuning of bicycles. This year, however, was a little different. Since I am greatly limited in my ability to be as free as a bird on a bike I didn't really think about the much appreciated sport. Then, my almost 6 yr old turned to me and said "mom, can I get my bike out!" What a revelation! My son is now old enough not only to ride his bike, but to acknowledge that with Spring comes the freedom to cruise on a bicycle!
As this has been an obviously early Spring and any snow forthcoming is not going to last long I granted the wonderful request. In the 63 degree weather my four sons spent a significant amount of time reacquainting themselves with those wonderful seats on wheels.
Andrew drove the taxi just long enough to declare it out of gas. Is there anything funnier than a 2 year old standing by a foot pedaled toy and expressing, in all upset seriousness, that it is out of gas?

Why are you limited in your bike enjoyment?
I have four boys, one of which can ride on the road, I can sit one on my bike, but that leaves 2 with no where to go. Riding my bike happens when Tyler stays home with some, or we get a trailer and all go together. It is almost too much hassle to bother with for the next few years. I really don't mind though. I would rather be with my family than have to leave them behind to get a few hours out on a bike.
