Yep. My dad got a Raleigh Mojave 8.0 today. He is gonna come riding tommorow afternoon and probably this afternoon. Im gonna let him lead so I can go at his pace and not leave him. Who knows though. He might be an undiscovered champion and leave me
Oh well.
Oh well.

i have been trying to get my dad to get a bike, well a better one, and go riding with me some. i know he doesnt want to go to extreme, but some easy trails would be awsome. so we could do something other than shooting bow's together.

Dads have no buisness on bikes. They should stick with the rocking chairs.

I know what a punk kid can do, I've got four of them. Not one of them can keep up with the old man though. They might get me on the hills (barely), but I get em in distance and overall speed.

Very cool. My dad won't go out. Occassionally, he'll go around the paved trail near his house around a pond. I can't get him beyond that though.
