No bicycling stuff for me this year, but I'm excited about having bought my 9-year old son his first, full-sized bike. He's gone through 3 child-sized bikes already: a 12" wheel cheapo BMX, a 16" wheel cheapo BMX, a KHS Raptor which had 20" wheels, and the worst crank ever. This time he is getting an extra small GT Backwoods Sport (GT Backwoods Sport Mountain Bike - Performance Exclusive). I'm hoping this one will last at least 5 years. The Raptor was barely 6 months old when my son bent the chain ring. The crank was a speciality, one-piece crank that was too expensive to replace so, the child has had to live with the chain falling off at random times for a year. It was too unreliable for me to teach him to ride on the road. The new bike is so much fun, I'm thinking about buying one for myself!
