Pedal Question re: my Trek 1000

[Flying Fish]

GOt some Forte shoes for under $50 at Performance-- clearance. They should have had these little parts in the box which you can use once you want to get fancy-- mine were missing. I don't miss them. They are like flat, stiff tennis shoes. they have some reflective stuff and make me walk like a duck-- almost as funny as those people clomping around in their cool bike shoes.

What do you do with the kids when you ride?

FORGIVE ME. I AM HAVING NEW POSTER DIFFICULTIES. DIDN'T SEE YOUR LAST POST. I WILL SOON BE OFF AND RIDING.

Flying Fish,
The boys ride as well. I am new to riding (less than a month) so the boys can ride cicles around me. Sometimes my husband and I go by ourselves. My children are now, thankfully, old enough to be home for a few hours without us. Usually they want to be on the trails with us. The twins have new Trek bikes, so 4 out of 5 of us have Treks. My oldest wanted to keep his old mtb (he is hloding out hope for ipod speakers-um the pointof his ipod was so *I* did not have to be subjected to his music.
