Latest update on the new bike: I was riding in my small neighborhood, just trying to get a little better accustomed, when two of our little "angels" decided that, while playing in the street, it would be fun to knock the Old Man off his bicycle. At the time, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and chalked it up as accidental. Now, I am not so sure it was an accident. I'll be watching those two very closely in the future.

On the plus side, the bike is not damaged and the Old Man only sustained minimal damage. Did you know that the piece of your glasses that goes across the bridge of your nose will cut like a razor? I found out that it will. My lovely bride freaked when she saw the blood dripping off my nose.
