6. I am infecting people around me...including my 6 year old niece who now wants an Electra Townie Betty (the black one with the pink flames) for her birthday and a complete cycling outfit for Christmas (with padded shorts none the less - she even wrote it on her Christmas wish list - herself!)

That is too cute!! I can see her now, cruisin the neighborhhod. and those are cute bikes too(and I'm sure your neice is adorable)
