    Happy Children

    I am so glad my wife convinced me of this. So far my out of pocket expense was $25 for my daughter's used bike. My son's bike was purchased with a gift card!!!

    Happy Children

    Both my kids outgrew their old bikes and at first we were about to drop about $200+ each on some bikes at our local bike shop. My wife was concerned that they'ed use the bikes for a season, maybe two and ready for upgrades, esp my son who is was going from a 12" to 16" bike and still using...

    hello from monroe

    You might have seen me on the soccor field - My son's practice/game this past fall was on Sunday around 10:30 or so. I am not sure of this year's schedule yet. I try to bike when I can. Once the weather warms up though I have a conflict as my primary passion is being on the water / fishing...

    hello from monroe

    Marley, I am also 40 and prefer the front suspension of my specialized as opposed to my older rigid fork bike. My daughter is 7 and loves to ride and is getting better at it. My son is only 5 and just still mucking around with training wheels. Justin

    hello from monroe

    Marley, Right now I ride a blue 02' Specalized Expedition Sport (more mtg bike than the current expedition which is more of a multi-use bike). I also use this bike on the street. I am most likely going to get a rockhopper sometime before the summer. My wife also rides the same bike but...

    Specialized Rockhopper

    This makes a lot of sense otherwise i'd be trading up in a year. I had the MTB bug when I was younger and enjoyed riding since but a bit on the 'lighter' side.

    Cheap waterproof, windproof jacket and gear

    Layers are the key to staying warm and warding off the wind. Start with a base layer such as a thermal (under armor cold gear, nike, no-name brand). I have a few pieces from Under Armor to no-name brands and prefer under armor for my base layer. If you go for a compression type base...

    Cheesy or cool?

    I just got a nautical jewlery catalog attached to a magazine the other day and the prices were insane - some in the 10's of 1000's for a platinum chain necklass with the link in the shape of an anchor chain. Hobby related jewlery is way overpriced! I also rate it cheesy now, but I wouldn't...
