Kurt, I love that your son is adventuring with his friends on their bikes. I
think he will find those upgrades so very useful. It was such a thrill for me
to finally have a way to portage my things - and that didn’t occur until
adulthood. He will love this new bag. You will spy on him and his
I'm not getting my son a new bike for Christmas, as he got a new Woom 6
last year. But I'm buying him some accessories. I hope that counts! Woom
now offers frame bags made of denim, sized for their frames. My son is
always reluctant to bring his phone, no wanting to drop or lose it. Now he
"It really does feel like a quality bike, not a Riv but an economical and
similar option."
They're comparable to welded Rivs like Clem and Roadini, or more accurately the
run of Rosco Bubbes which didn't have a seat lug. Different design philosophy
of course, but V-O produces some excellent

Pancake, Good job! Looks like your Brother-in-law is too big for the common
sizes available out there. The friend I ride with most and with whom I've been
riding with occasionally for over 20 years is too tall for most bike and he's
been riding bikes that are too small for all that time. After
Pancake, great work! Those campeurs are good bikes.

Merry Xmas to all. Regardless of the particular bike I believe we can all
hopefully agree what true gifts bikes are for any who see their value and
potential (young or old).
May everyone have many happy healthy safe rides ahead in 2020.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all these tales! I’m in MN surrounded by my very
large family and have been slow to read and respond to any of these stories,
but wow!
Roberta, I love your story. My absolute favorite stories are the ones where
someone sets a goal, works to it, accomplishes it, and

So many great stories here! Sharing these is a fabulous holiday gift.
Matt--I wonder if your parents knew what went on that fantastic night.
Leah--We both share the love of cycling with loved ones. Having a baby
sister myself, I can totally see you trying to include her in your play.
Sorry for my delayed reply, Leah. Yes, she's the same.
Have you read Educated by Tara Westover? An unbelievably similar story and
challenges posed by that background and doing well, a semester remaining.
The number of things we take for granted that are not is humbling. Her

My bikes were all birthday gifts; I got all sorts of things for Christmas,
but never a bicycle.
After learning to ride 2 wheels at age 4 or 5 on a tiny, red solid-tire
bike, taught by the sophisticated, older blondes next door (they must have
been, what, 9 or 10? I do remember the red and the

found a beautiful, red Schwinn Stingray under the tree! I was SO excited,

Little did I know that my pop had bought it second hand, repainted it, put
a few new parts on (banana seat, grips).
Nice meeting you on Caltrain yesterday, Paul! That is a sweet BMXer!

Yes, Rad is a good word. Esthetically in my mind it's nearly perfect. Sparkly
crimson pearl with black crackle over the top.
The only downside is that I really don't typically have tons of use for a fat
bike in Dallas, TX. It's a little slow around town, but fine if I have time.

Leah, your story parallels my own fairly closely. Actually my sisters bikes fit
me pretty well, because the women in our family typically are not tall.
It's funny you said that though, because 2 days after I learned to ride a bike

Ok, ok, these trips down memory lane of Christmases past are just too fun. Mas,
I can *picture* this. I’ll bet your sisters’ bikes were 3 sizes too big for you
and somehow it didn’t matter. Let this be a lesson to us all before we fixate
on “fit.” Hahaha.
My turn. (Are we allowed to do this if

Well, I don't have a new bike for Chistmas story. That may help to explain
why I am a bike obsessed adult.
When I was about 4 my sister & I got tricycles for Christmas. I spent hours on
that thing, we lived in a big house in a small Texas town. It was situated on a
large corner lot so I
I remember you mentioning this woman, maybe back when my son got his Clem in
2018? You work together, right? How is she doing?
I’m sure she is so appreciative , knowing how much your bikes mean to you and
all. She sounds like a good candidate for a new Clem when the next batch
arrives.

Kent,
That's a great story! I hadn't realized you were posting on your blog
again, It was a great treat to get to read some of your other new posts.
I'd guess most folks on this list are familiar with your blog, but if not,
I'd highlight recommend all of it.
Leah, I don't have any Christmas bike
Well, this isn't exactly what you asked about, but here's a "getting a new
bike for Christmas" story, that I wrote up a few years back:
