Blake's last new bike was when he first learned to ride at 5 years old. If ever there was something that we bought for the kids that we can truly say we got our monies worth...it was his first bike. He has ridden that little green bike into the ground. We have replace entire tires that were worn to the threads, broken reflectors and pedals, fixed many flats, and added gallons of slime to his tires. The past few months the chain has been falling off every time he hits a bump....but still he rides on. So for his birthday Blake wanted a new bike. After discovering that he liked to go on long bike rides and that "gears" made it much easier to ride, he wanted a "gear-bike".
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
