Soooo jealous!!! I just scored a couple of really old Trek 800 hardtails courtesy of Craigslist for about $80 each. I figured a beater bike would be a nice way to introduce our son to riding before investing a ton on a quality bike right away. Though he'll be piloting in a bike child seat for a while. Took him for his very first ride-a-long at Terry Hershey Park last Friday since the weather rocked. I'm definitely friggin out of shape though. 11 total miles and my legs were burning on a few of those tiny inclines. Didn't account for how much the additional 30 lbs of toddler sitting in a child seat would make a difference....duh!
He seem to like it. We stayed strictly on the paved section.
1st image at 5.5 mile. Decided this would be a good time to turn around.
2nd image back at parking area making it 11 miles
Last two are just some cheese BEFORE/AFTER image of my CL bike...
Now my 'whip' is rocking a rear rack and CoPilot Limo...So HOTTTT!!!
Next mod will be to put some old school bike tape on the handle bar and maybe a bell...ding...ding....

It's pretty much the same other than changing the saddle, adding a computer and losing the lock.  |
