Now to get them to actually ride....
Last year I got into road biking, and to varying degrees, my family has supported me.
"You'll never be able to ride that far!"
"Good for you!"
"You look great! Must be all that biking."
"You're skin and bones! Must be all that biking!":rolleyes:
Well, they must have decided that the good outweighs the bad, because last week 5 of them bought bikes!:eek: My parents came down to see me Sunday and I took them to the LBS around the corner. They tried out a few and brought the brochures home to ponder things. On Thursday my aunt's boyfriend called to ask me about something and then said that they'd bought bikes that week. On Saturday, my mom, aunt, and uncle went to another LBS I recommended, spent 2.5 hours, and found what they were looking for. Now my dad needs to get his, and my extended family will be set! Of course, they actually have to ride them regularly now to justify their purchases. We'll see how that goes;) Oh, and naturally when mom tried to ride last night, the chain came off after 5 minutes. Whoops!
