You guys are so fun! I knew you’d be good sports and indulge us in a drift from 
the typical ride report. This kid loves his Clem; it has not been wasted on 
him. 

It’s Monday, so the first day back for our commute. Oh, he was jazzed today; my 
husband was driving to work at the exact time we left the house, so the boys 
wanted to race him for as long as they could. I had to hang back with the 
littler guy (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it) but Ethan was tearing up 
the path on that little Clem. My husband played along until traffic interfered, 
then he sped up and left us. Meanwhile, all the adrenaline was still pumping 
through Ethan, and now he was outright peacocking. He stood straight up on his 
pedals and bombed downhill far ahead of us, pleased as punch with himself the 
whole way. I told myself I’d throttle him later, provided he lived through this 
commute. He reached the crosswalk far ahead of us, looking all wind blown and 
sleek on his beautiful Rivendell bicycle, the secret jewel of the campus bike 
rack, hoping everyone was noticing his superior athleticism and bike-handling 
prowess.  He had done his best showboating for the neighborhood - and then 
pushed the button for the wrong direction at the crosswalk. My younger son was 
only too happy to point this out, and we roared with laughter at Ethan’s 
expense. Humble pie for breakfast! The only kind I can endorse!
