bampilot06 how old is your boy? Pulling oneself up and walking around sounds like trouble...
9 months. He started crawling last week. His favorite activity is trying to find a socket to stick his fingers in.

Swedish fighter pilots ride bikes out to their planes, they should have someone check their tyre pressures though!
I feel the need, the need for speed!

For the record I don’t topple. I collapse with grace.

On my home computer I have a photo I took of a WWI Bianchi infantry bike complete with rifle mounted to a rack on the top tube. It’s in a museum in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. A must-visit if you are ever in the area.

Based solely on the performance, I'm sticking with Vittorias. I just ordered some black Corsas (Bike Closet has them for $35 a pop), so I don't have to choose between comfort and style! And if I decide to stick with the tanwalls, I'll keep the black ones for spares for the Bianchi, which is also running on Corsas. Italian bike, Itallian groupset, Italian tires.

I generally prefer Vittoria tires as well. Although I've had reasonable experiences with other brands as now. Trying some Pirelli's right now for the first time, non-tubeless (Pzero race 4s) with TPU tubes

I like round tires that hold air and cost as little as possible.

Oh yeah, but my NE family used to give me flack when I called the Albany area (so yours directly of course) "New England". Can't tell the difference as you drive between.

Jokes apart, when my son got mobile AND verbal, it might have been the scariest day of my life…

I'd rather listen to your KCB Music than her offerings. I'm in the minority on that belief. Sad.
