And yes, I do realize that telling people not to bother with fancy bikes for their kids when my own kid rides an Islabikes is wantonly hypocritical, at least on the surface of it:
However, keep in mind I never said you shouldn't give them a fancy bike if it falls into your lap, so there you go.
Hey, I can't help it that the universe sees fit to bestow these lavish cycling gifts upon me. And don't worry, I pay in other ways. For while I may have some pretty sweet bikes at my disposal, I spend all my non-cycling time in sackcloth and ashes performing acts of self-flagellation:
(What, no helmets?)
It's true, just check my Strava.
Finally, before I go, I'm going to nudge you over to the Bike Forecast, only because it's important that you understand what we're dealing with at the moment. Basically, a hit-and-run driver killed a guy on a bike in Midtown, and so after ticketing people on bikes for stuff that's not illegal now the NYPD is just outright tackling them. Anyway, it's all in the post.
Love,
