Sweet Ride

A good way to draw attention to oneself is to ride around town on a big, ugly monster of a bike with enormous chrome pannier baskets and a noisy toddler in a trailer behind you, all the while screaming at four children on bikes in front of you dodging and weaving in and out of traffic.  Do this often enough, and townspeople start to recognize you and call you "that family with the bikes".  It's hard not to look cool cruising around on a rig like this here, I tell ya.  This, hopefully, is how we will spend many happy days this summer.
