Got him a decent bike store hybrid (low end fuji crosstown without all the suspension stuff and a better seat). .

I'm scared he is going to ride to the next town soon. . . hahah (he is 17) . . .

2 weeks already 200 + miles on the bike. . .he is already bugging me about upgrading stuff . . .sigh. At least I know what to do at christmas and such. . .

This is from a kid that never really was athletic. He is skinny just not into sports. . .

Yea, I'm pretty proud of him. 2 years of high school left - and he finished 6 hours college math this summer - precal/trig and cal 1. He is a math nerd like myself - and wants to get his degree in physics. . . I anticipate he'll pass most of his AP exams and we'll have year one of college knocked out before he ever grads. . . So yea - he is a delight (mostly). All teens have their moments.

He got back 2 hour ride he took - added 24 miles to the bike's odometer . . . he wants to do a century with me. Sheesh - I gotta get in shape.

Any 17 year old son who still wants to do things with his father is worth getting into shape for. Get on that bike :giver:

This is awesome...you both need to ride together...it won't be long before he is out and about and only sees you occasionally. Cherish the moments. :thumb:
