Pam | Think my son will be getting a new bike too.. He has out grown his current one. At 6yrs old, he showed little interest in learning to ride his current one. I figured me getting one would "inspire" him. It did...he pretty much learned last night...but the bike is too small for him. LOL
Now I just have to get used to the darn seat.  | | | | | Account Removed Per User Request

Those seats are killers aren't they?! I gave up riding a bike for an elliptical, myself.

Pandering politicians gave some of us, a little of our money back. It feels a little like mom gave me a dollar so I could buy a candy bar.
Only time I’ve seen some people this excited is when they get their tax “refund”.

I got mine the other day as well.
I transfered mine in to my savings account for now. It will go towards a life stimulation/rejuvenation/ relaxation vacation in August. A week on the beach with lots of naps and good food will do wonders for you

A word to the wise: DO NOT let the car, house, or other major money pits know about the “windfall”. They can hear you talk and one will break in order to take it from you.
This is truth.
