I'll bet it goes really fast, with those skinny tyres, and it's got neat handlebars, too". I laughed and told him that this was a great old bike, and that he should try to find one for himself when he was a bit older.

I would guess he was perhaps 12 or 13 years old. If I see him again, I will ask him perhaps if he'd like one to ride.
