    I finally remembered to post pictures of my mom - and these were taken 3 years ago, not 4....She turned 85 on March 3. By the way, we decided not to get her a trike - you are right, mimi - too heavy. She didn't like it.

    As for the ride on the bike without the helmet - she was trying it out to see if it fit before we actually went on a ride - and she didn't want to mess up her hair!

    Look at her go! 85! Another role model.

    Great pics of your mom, Jane!....One of my favorite childhood memories is of my then 80+ year old maternal grandfather slowly pedaling around somebody's front yard on a nothing-fancy bike on a lazy Sunday summer afternoon. Wearing a hat, and probably a bowtie to boot!

    Well, since we are posting pics of our moms (talk about thread drift!!), my mom was photographed at the farmers market last summer and is now featured in the tourist/newcomer literature for the city where she lives. It's kinda cool!

    She does ride a bike (a Breezer Villager), but not in this pic.

    Tulip, your mom looks like she belongs on a brochure.....or in Southern Living!

    I want to be like my mom when I am 85 - in the sense that she will still jump on a bike and ride.
