Re: First Ride in 50+ years: French Fries and Fixie kids
Hey Luke, They both liked the meatloaf so I guess it was good
Thanks MadzaFlyer. I wish they were for you too. I feel lucky that I can hang out with FIL and FILB since my Dad is no longer around.
So last Sunday (21Apr13) it was still too snowy out to ride like I wanted to. So we went to Wendy's so FIL could have his ice cream (in shake form) with his hamburger. It was funny that if I buy him fries at Bridgemen's, he always says he doesn't want to eat them but at Wendy's, I just put them out for both of us and he chows on them :lol:
While we were eating I saw 2 kids outside, 1 on a nice fixie and the other one throwing snow balls at him. The were both laughing their heads off and so was I.
We headed over to Sunrise Cyclery again because I wanted to look for some specific parts. George was totally up for it
They have done a nice job of cleaning and reorganizing since they moved in. There was the nice mech and now they had a room where they was a repair class going on. No where for FIL to sit but he was looking around and not doing his shutdown robot imitation so it was all good. Found just the odd part I was looking for so that was awesome (aluminum quill, non-roadbike style) and some white grips: $6 Wahoo!
This week we've gone from 4" of snow on Monday to 75F yesterday :shock: So we are planning on going for a ride tomorrow for the first time this year (and since his wipeout last fall). I don't think he will remember it and I guess that's good. No wet leaves on the ground like last fall. My wife asked him if he wanted to ride and he was enthusiastic so that makes it worth it.
Thanks for looking
Steve
