The BEST tree ornament EVER!

My five year old daughter found this hand painted glass ornament and picked it out for me. Because she know how much of a bike geek her dad is.




Sometimes they can surprise me.

First grade poem

First a little background. While our daughter was in preschool my commute was often multi-modal. I would drive to the preschool and park the car there, then ride to work or ride to the bus if the weather was iffy. I could then ride back from work get her from the school and drive home. It worked for us and apparently it also impressed our youngest son enough to write about it. Now, I will not lie here. When I read this the first time I choked up. I was not aware that this process of commuting to work on my bike would inspire any of my kids.

If your having trouble reading his handwriting it reads.

My Dad is Lightning

My
dad is like
lightning he rides to
work and back
going up down up
down to pick
up my sister.



I think it's cool.
