Kids These Days

My 19yr old sweetheart of a daughter brought her new boyfriend out to the house to meet us. A fine looking young man, studying psych at Kent State. She walked him around our lovely rural ranch setting before coming in. She took him into the shop to show him my bikes. Later in our discussion he says, "your bikes are beautiful". Give him points for that. I then asked him if he was a "roadie". He said he is. Give him points for that.

Then he asked me if I ever heard of a fixed gear bike. Take points away for that question.

Made me wonder if he was eyeing my gorgeous vintage bikes like a wolf eyes the next kill.

Overall? Good kid and I like him. His eyes lit up when I told him he can ride one of my bikes with me anytime.
