Saw this bad boy today

I've only ever had to deal with them at the gas station.  And that was plenty.

Well if you have more to say about snakes or bikes, let's hear it.

This picture doesn’t do him justice.  He has a Yamaha 50 but that was his grandfathers doing.   Trust me he has a future.  Rode a bike before his sister 4 years old and popping wheelies

Another A&B bike on grand dad

Where's everybody getting these mini fat bikes?  Those are way cool.

My 11 y/o won't ride, I've bought her 3 bikes so far (as she grew out of the previous one) and she has no desire to learn to ride....which bums me out.  We unload them, good as new, at a yard sale every other year.   The other kids love to ride.    

Who ever heard of a kid that doesn't want to ride a bicycle?    Art, badminton, and swimming are her big things, that's all she ever wants to do.  She wanted a skateboard for her birthday, got her a nice one, she spent 5 minutes with it, got spooked, and I bet she never touches it again.  It'll be in the next yard sale. 🙄   I tried to ride it.....and Woah, there's a skill I've completely lost.  Scary.

If you're in your 50's and think you still have your $#!t together, just try getting on a skateboard.   I dare you!

No thanks!!   Tried a few years ago and whoa.  My first skate board was steel roller skate trucks screwed to a board.  I haven’t tried in a few years but I was still roller blading ok then.  
mini fat bikes and kids bikes with no peddles are all over my neighborhood.  The no peddle bikes are a cool way to start a kid super early and never use training wheels.

Speaking of the Tour, did you see that 30 for 30 on Lance Armstrong?  It was interesting.  

I’m watching it.  Can’t deny his charitable contribution.  How about his kid at college?   Had to be tough on his kid.

Yes he did do a lot of good with that charity and inspired a lot of people, but it went downhill once all the PED stuff came out.  The guy lost a lot financially and also the potential for future endorsements.  

Something else, if he had not done the PED's then would he have won anything and would he have been a household name?  Probably no one ever would've heard of him except for diehard bike racing fans.
