best card ... ever.
I just got the greatest awful cheesy Hallmark birthday card from my Dad. It's all sentimental & crap, but it begins with a picture of a little boy on a bike with another person (presumably the boys father) on a bike behind him. On the first page of the inside, it's a slightly older boy - on a foot scooter with a friend on a slightly larger foot scooter behind him. On the very inside, the boy is grown up and splashing a mountain bike through a trail.
As far as birthday cards from one's parents go, they don't get more spot-on than this one. OK, so the grown up boy wasn't riding a fixie, but the bike stayed with him the whole time. This might be a bit too emotional for the BFSS&FG, but I thought I'd share it with you.

I like the fact that the guy on the mountian bike is riding a trek y-33 or 22 ( can't tell from the picture). But my favorite card was Shant's spoke card.

wait...
so you dad didn't write anything on the card!? zomg.
*Edit* - my bad. I thought the writing was clouds.
I really don't get enough cards from friends and family to know the difference
I cried cause it wasn't an LV pattern on the left hand side
props to your dad!

nice card s_9. My P's made a card for me this year out of all the pics of me on all happyfaced on my bike(s) throughout the years, and the last page was a pic of sleeping in a chair from last year. My dad has a good sense of humor.
Bikes on cards = good.
Nice share.
Happy Belated YouDay, s_9
