Oh, I thought we were talking about your bikes.

Kids are a different proposition, of course. Make em work for it or get them on something cheap and bomber I guess. I hardly expect anyone in that position to pony up the 10-15k you'd need to sink into a specifically designed training/racing quiver.

But hey, what do I know about such things? I'm 34 and newly married but still think I'm 25, which comes as a shock when I attempt to keep up with 25 year olds! I can't fund my own cycling habit let alone someone elses.
