Stache Posted May 4, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2011 Breakfast - Me, the 16 yr old son, the 9 yr old son and the 9 yr old daughter. 19 yr old son is far too cool to get up for breakfast. 16 yr old looks out the window at the bright sunny morning and asks "Can you give me a ride to school on the bike this morning?" That started a chorus of 9 yr old "Me too!" Ok. 16 yr old first. 12 km round trip. Then the daughter. 8 km round trip. Then the other son. Another 8 km. Wake the 19 yr old so he'll get himself off to work on time, stow the kiddie helmet in the rack. Grab my tank bag (laptop and stuff for work) and off to the office. 18 km 1 way. Total 46 km. I'm 22 minutes late for work, but for some reason I can't stop smiling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomWill Posted May 4, 2011 Share #12 Posted May 4, 2011 Awesome! My youngest (now 17) LOVES to ride and has me take her all kinds of place. My eldest will not even sit on a bike, go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art708 Posted May 5, 2011 Share #13 Posted May 5, 2011 I sure wish that my wife would let my 13 y/o daughter ride. She loves riding, the few times that she was allowed. She'd make a great riding companion.....sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
