Biker's Heaven
Something happened yesterday in my life that hasn't happened in 15 years! At the insistence of my 5 year old, Josiah, we both got out our bikes. His bike is brand new with a shiney red frame. My bike is, well, 25 years old. Originally a sparkling silver 10 speed CCM from the days when 10 speeds were cool, it is now tainted by rust and dust and flat tires.
And then it happened. After filling the tires with air, I rode my bike for the first time in 15 years! Thanks to Darryl for gifting me with an overhaul on it about 8 years ago it is still in fairly good running order. (Don't dwell on the fact that he dropped cash on an overhaul and then I didn't ride it for another 8 years.)
So off we went, the afternoon downpour not diminishing his spirits in the least, for our first bike ride together: my son and I. It was a great Mommy moment.
They are truly treasured moments!
