I got a really nice 24" Norco rigid mountain bike, from a bike shop, for my younger kid a few years ago. The biggest problem was that she grew out of it so quickly, and for that reason, I think they have limited utility.

I took a day off yesterday to take my kids to the city's annual midway and exhibition, and spent most of the day outside without taking in enough liquid. I woke up this morning with a mild dehydration headache that got worse every time I went over a significant bump with my 80psi skinny tires. I tried to absorb the bumps with my arms and legs when I could, but I wasn't able to anticipate all of them. My day was brightened somewhat when I rode past a garbage truck, and the driver leaned out his window and said, "Good morning! And have a great day!" Put a big smile on my face, actually.

Have a good day, everyone.
