I thought I would share a few pics of the new addition. This is for my daughter and I who is 9. She has some pretty serious health problems and has not really been able to ride a bike of her own. I ride a bike quite a bit and really wanted her to be able to share in the joy that I get from riding. I saw a picture from Odens Revenge of a guy and his daughter on a tandem bike.........and I said that's the ticket. I went to my local shop Bikestop in Lees summit Missouri. (These guys are the very best there is!) I told them my plans and they suggested that I buy a trail a bike first and see if she would like it. Well she did like it and we have been riding about 30+ miles of gravel each week together. So this is the new bike. We will be going on first ride probably this afternoon and I will post a couple more pics and give first impressions of the new bike.
Thought I would give update on the first ride. The bike is awesome and really smooths out the bumps. It certainly allows us to go further And faster. We did 22.5 miles at 14mph.
