My kids biked to soccer practice this morning. The two year old was wearing a t-shirt (nothing over it). Would you care to revise that statement?

No.

I think there’s a difference between “my kids biked” and “my kids sat in a bike under a plastic cover that keeps them warm.”

still, kudos for the #kidical in these temps.

So they didn’t bike. The rode on your ebike under an insulating cover. They don’t get my scarf.

I’m pretty sure husband turned the motor off. He does that. Weird. And it’s not like there’s a heater under there.

Did you try making a Barbie doll scarf by putting it in the dryer?

I’m sure that the point here is that they were not cold, right (because plastic + sunshine = warm) ? — not that they were suffering with tears freezing to their faces yet remained in only t-shirts because of Rule #5. I feel like I’ve missed the point of this thread, so I’ll go find Shawn’s original post that started it all

Pretty sure that won’t clear anything up for you…

I was thinking about sponsoring a “sloth of the mountain” award for the individual with the slowest average speed with at least 40 days of riding (at least 50% of contest days).

Yeah, it wasn’t mentioned, but I’m pretty sure I got a “Tortoise” prize last year for being the slowest. And I rode every day.

Seriously. I just came from arguing the Arlnow comments and this thread did not bring the expected leap in level of discourse.

I’m imagining the seam ripping on the canopy and the ride turning into a Star Trek hull breach disaster…
