Birthday Bike

At 49, they got me a unicycle. At 60, this. Can't wait to see what's next.

Nice. As you cycle and age you will get leaner and shorter. Eventually it will fit. That's my theory.

Did you do your birthday ride on it?

It'll ride better with some Vittoria Corsa Speed's or Continental GP 5000's. <grin>

Happy Birthday!

The good news is that you’re a lot closer to Mother Earth should you have a mishap.

But, hey! Look on the bright side: it's better 'n the nasty DayGlo splatter tie you got back in '99.

You know, with that little thing, I'd want elbow and knee pads. And an opportunity to first put my G.P. onto speed-dial.*

I understand they went to unicycles.com with a penny farthing in mind, which I would have loved, but this caught their eye. I approve, as do my grandsons. It's a hoot.
