On the board for 2023!

The kinders had an early day and I got them onto their bikes for the ride in. The boy's bike is still way too big for him. I should have put off his move up. I gave him a shorter handlebar and flipped it, that helped a lot. Still, he can't quite get to the ground when he needs to and his cranks are too long. 140 cranks and 2, not 2.6 tires will help him. Today he negligently tried to ride up parallel to a round curb and his tires, still shiny, pumped too hard by yrs trly, attached to a suspension fork too hard to move, and way bigger than before, could not follow. A hundred feet later he crashed again in the middle of the school's crosswalk right into the crosswalk sign in the middle of the street. Much smaller girl twin on her perfectly sized Spawn also managed one crash when a teacher, who's never been there before, got in front of her on an upslope, and told her she couldn't ride where we've always ridden before with no interference up to the front gate.

Then I had to ride back to the house because I'd forgotten the lock for their bikes.

Today is a nice lull in the weather before we get whacked again this weekend.
