Show me your mom's bike (aka Happy Mother's Day!)
I picked this up a few years ago at Value Village for $14 and gave it to my mom. It has a basket now and it still rules.

Why don't I ever find bikes like this for $14? Sheesh.
My mom told me she wants a bike so I gotta be looking around ... I wonder what the chances of me getting her to ride a fixed gear are ... |
kilo, definitely a kilo

My Mom is a real character, so I was not surprised to find her at the local Performance Bikes riding a beach cruiser around the interior of the store with a sales guy in tow trying to explain to her that she can't ride the bike around inside. So she takes it out in the parking lot, goes for a quick spin, brings the bike back in, and says, "I don't like it. I didn't feel like I was flying." That's my mom. She rides a Dahon now, though I'm not sure she gets that flying sensation from it.

My mom wants an electric bike. Which is better than no bike, I guess.
|
My mother just asked me to rebuild her old schwinn (YUSSSS!), I'm not sure exactly what it is though, I haven't seen it yet. I'm excited though.

Aw, you guys are so nice to your moms! Makes me feel like a bad son. Course, I am the only one in my family who has a passion for bicycles. Still.
|
My mom has two bicycles, albeit bad ones, but she makes no effort to ride them. She wants this light blue Schwinn, though, that we saw at the store. I doubt she would ride it, either way.
My sister, who bought a ss/fg for 400$, rode it a few times around the time she purchased it, but has not really touched it since. She claims she does ride it, but I touch it more than she does only when I am parking my bike next to hers. I wish my family was more into cycling. :( |

It's weird, because my parents have been avid cyclists their whole lives. My mom is a triathalete and my dad rides trails all the time. I'm thinking about taking my mom out on a long ride for mom's day too. |
So jealous of your family. Mine are not athletic at all. I love em though.
