Well, I just got a Kent folding bike for my brother and a Schwinn Sting-Ray for my nephew. I'm ok with it for now. I'll monitor them closely, and if they pick up the cycling bug, I'll invest in some nicer bikes for them to ride. But as I said before, there's no way I'll pay good money for bikes they'll ride for 3 or 4 times, then never ride again. They have a treadmill here they continue to drag around with them each time they move, and they haven't used it in over a year. In fact, I don't think they've used the treadmill since a couple of months after they bought it. They need to just sell it and run the stairs in their building if they want to do any running.

While I was in line today with my bikes, a lot of people walked up to me and told me whoever is getting the bikes is really lucky- I explained that I've now outfitted the entire family with bikes, and this summer, when I move into their place, we'll all be riding every day. Hopefully, they'll develop a love for riding. Maybe we can even find other families and get together for organized family rides. When I mentioned that idea in the line, people were so excited about the idea of an organized family ride. I'll probably advertise on craigslist this summer and see if we can get a big group of families to go for a ride. All these trails and no one rides!
