I just got the greatest awful cheesy Hallmark birthday card from my Dad. It's all sentimental & crap, but it begins with a picture of a little boy on a bike with another person (presumably the boys father) on a bike behind him. On the first page of the inside, it's a slightly older boy - on a foot scooter with a friend on a slightly larger foot scooter behind him. On the very inside, the boy is grown up and splashing a mountain bike through a trail.

As far as birthday cards from one's parents go, they don't get more spot-on than this one. OK, so the grown up boy wasn't riding a fixie, but the bike stayed with him the whole time. This might be a bit too emotional for the BFSS&FG, but I thought I'd share it with you.
