I sense a bit of trolling too. What better bait than "My 3 year old grandson is a bigger man than you!"

Come on, Grandpa, you're falling down on your job - teaching that kid how to whine about whining.
I mean, what could be more MANLY than complaining about complaining?

Well, there are bad grandfathers, average grandfathers and ones like you, great grandfathers.

Don't let me catch you being a full human with emotions and sensitivities! You better be a picture perfect example of false masculinity and toughness as you were spoon-fed to be!
But seriously, quit whining. Next thing you know, his unborn grandchild will be racing centuries without a grimace.

Pot holes?
Better than complaining about pushers.
Oh gawd, don't get me started. It's the humidity here.
You wouldn't tell her? Or rather, your grandson wouldn't mention it?
Some wammin have it worse than others.
Hmmm, my vision usually goes dark along the edges first.
"A" bike? Or my bike(s)?
He just hasn't learned to swear yet.
I don't doubt it. He was likely breathing too heavy to speak!
Well....if he has a speech impediment wouldn't that be, "Bampa, I wuv widing my bwike." (?)
I can't!
Stoopid hayfever, I'd be sneezing and wheezing and my eyes will be watering. I won't be able to see or breath properly.
Then theres all the dog poo that the dog owners don't pick up. The grass is uneven and there's too many bugs.
I'd get dizzy with the riding in circles and likely get cramps and throw up!

Enjoy it while you can. My 7 y.o. grandson did 13 miles on hills and wanted to go further. The next summer he didn't even care about the bike. All he wanted to do was play computer games. I'm hoping he'll regain interest.

It's a pot hole by another name. Western American dialect.

I hear ya. My 13 year old son is the same way. Last summer, he would ride all over town. Be gone for hours riding with his friends. We would ride together quite often. This summer? Nonstop video games. About the only time he goes outside is when he takes out the garbage or goes to a friends house. I mention going for a ride, he just rolls his eyes and goes back to his games. I'm not going to force him to ride. Like sknhgy, I'm hoping he'll regain intrest...but before he turns 45.

I used to do insurance property inspections and write technical reports. One of my supervisors x'ed out "chuck holes" and replaced it with "pot holes" in one of my reports so I looked up both in the dictionary. The "pot hole" definition was a little more specific because it made reference to the shape of the hole. Smart alec that I am, in my next report I included both in my description of the parking lot.
