But I was looking around on your blog (since I've only just started reading it) and saw the link to this entry. I recognized the title of the song- we love that one here. So, Click, and here I am.<br />Totally loved reading this story!<br />YES, we did ride those bikes, only times had changed enough that Dad merely painted over the names with a white stripe instead of painting OUR names on them. See, it's dangerous to have stuff with your name visible on it now. But my stripe ended in a point and Rob's ended in a curve. Still visibly different. And yours was mine.<br />This post was especially timely for me to read. Christmas 2009, our boys got bikes. YAY. This past Christmas, I got a bike! Only it didn't have gears or hand brakes and I was afraid I wouldn't remember how to stop correctly. It was a BEAUTIFUL pink schwinn in the old fashioned style with a swoopy dress/girl center bar and a rack on the back and awesome curved handle bars, and fenders over the tires. But I traded it just last week (finally) for a BEAUTIFUL, but not so classic, Purple bike, still with swoopy center bar, but with mountain bike handles (and gears and hand brakes) instead, and no fenders or rack on the back. I think I'm going to take my kids and our bikes over to North Park to ride on the walking trail that goes around the baseball fields.<br />I'm so excited spring is here!Jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-36533231012891356722010-09-06T08:59:30.157-06:002010-09-06T08:59:30.157-06:00i like the matching helmets :) what a good idea t...i like the matching helmets :) what a good idea to make the bikes new again!Annelisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497443278798850513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-68865061203336096512010-09-03T15:32:27.873-06:002010-09-03T15:32:27.873-06:00I love that your kids are bikers, and also I could...I love that your kids are bikers, and also I could tell that they're willing to be safe bikers (with their helmets and their locks). Good for them. My kids are having fun biking this summer too. Audrey just learned how to ride without training wheels, and Tate is now riding a big boy bike (with training wheels) instead of the kind with no pedals (which you push with your feet on the ground). It's fun to see all the biking, but especially the happy faces on the bikes :).Jennifer Lovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620872883706842592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-44296516396875701242010-09-02T18:34:30.261-06:002010-09-02T18:34:30.261-06:00This brought back a lot of childhood memories for ...This brought back a lot of childhood memories for me. I used to love to ride my bike. It's so great that your kids have had the opportunity to have fun in that way and that the whole family got involved.Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8630979976490932348.post-77955337072775266522010-09-01T23:02:15.042-06:002010-09-01T23:02:15.042-06:00I love how Grasshopper uses bike as a verb lol!
