Did 13.5 miles with the kids today. I'd just replaced all the cables on Simone's bike, and Thomas got to try out his new (to him) bike. Was good. We averaged 11 miles an hour, and topped out at 25.
glad you made it relatively unscathed.
I bought my 16 yr old son a bike today. A 2009 KHS Flite 500 aluminum and carbon road bike. A craigslist score, it was just $200. Not a perfect bike by any means, but a screaming deal at $200.
So now we're up to 3 road bikes. Looking forward to this weekend's ride.
Shelly, you definitely want the Colnago or Seven, that's the head-case answer.
I did about 10 with the kids today. Rode about 5 miles to the bike shop, bought thomas a new helmet, then they swapped bikes, and we rode back.
