My son just had a bike fit!

He bought his wife a good hybrid, when she wanted a "cruiser," and patiently explained to her how this would be a better option. And, he insisted she get a helmet and wear it, something I guess was an issue. I know it's still "in his blood."

Sounds like a special son who has become a special husband. He made a good choice for his wife and she needs to listen to him about that helmet!

Nick is pretty proud of his new wheels. He rode Tuesday and Wednesday with his dad. His bum is a bit sore. I think the extra beating it takes from rowing is making it extra sensitive.
He's tough and should get over it in short order. You should see his hands from rowing. Gloves are not allowed. He shows me the hanging skin before he trims it off just to see me squirm but he never asks for sympathy. I don't think he'll let a sore rear end keep him off the bike either.

We are doing a metric century together on Sunday. He posted on his Facebook that he is doing it "with his mom" but I have a feeling I'll watch his skinny behind pull away from me in the first mile and then won't see him again until the finish.

It has been quite the bike journey for him. He has enjoyed quite a variety through the years. I always knew he would ask for the road bike some day. The comments from the young moms take me back. Enjoy every minute because one day you will turn around and find you are looking up instead of down at your little boy.

Yup, just like yours took me back about ten years.
I am now vicariously enjoying my older son's entry into the cycling world.
My only question is how did my kids get so fast?
