Yesterday the Grand-sons and I trucked our bikes to the big city where we rode on the Arkansas River Path and in to the Historic Delano District for lunch. It was chilly and windy but we toughed it out and had a good time.
Eldest Grandson Ethan likes to ride my 26" wheeled bikes instead of his own 20". He can ride the bigger bikes but I don't know how safely he could stop or dis-mount in a hurry. I told him we'd look for a 24" frame and build it for him.
I put out the word I was looking for a 24" frame and a friend offered up one he found in his stash. Thanks Dave!
I've been told the bikes is a Roadmaster. Here's how we received it yesterday.
After cutting off the bent rusted in place fork.
Unbeknownst to me until I went to unload the above photos from the camera, the Grand-daughter had filmed us mocking up the bike.
Today we finished putting it together and he took it for a test ride. This fork is messed up so we'll have to get another. The bike will be painted eventually.
Last night I rode in our clubs 5th annual Christmas Lights Cruise. Nova has caught a cold or something and was unable to attend. There were a lot of nicely decorated and lit bikes. I rode the Christmas Cruiser.
Sunday afternoon Grand-son Blake and I participated in the first Toys For Tots bike ride here. We rode about 6 miles with a group to a park where we dropped off our toy donations and had cookies and hot chocolate. We then rode back to our starting point with a few of our bike club people.
Blake did really well riding the distance and in a large group.
