The 10 year old that seems to be alive and well in me was digging the riding. The 50 something father that he turned into on the outside was cringing now and then. Having a boy the same age lets me see both sides. Wish it ended on a better note. Please update when there is a part two.
At 10 I took my red 20 inch wheel single speed coaster brake banana seat ape hanger Schwinn crammed on some Carlile knobby tires and rode around in the woods and powerlines that is now Wakefield park. Myy friends thought I was nuts. Some time after I l got a 10 speed and the little bike was forgotten. 43 years later that kid is still riding around in the same woods (on a far better bike)
