Today, was the Founder's Day Parade and Festival, in Fenton. The shop had a spot in the parade, which had a vehicle with bikes on top, followed by 4 cyclists throwing candy to the kids along the parade route. Yes, I was one of the cyclists. My chosen weapon was a Sun cruiser. I haven't rode anything like that in years. Justin, also from the shop, rode a mini penny farthing, aka, high-wheeler, with a 26" front wheel. 2 of Justin's friends also rode, one was on a unicycle and the other on a Sun tricycle. The basket on the back of the trike is where we stashed the candy and our water. The route was about 3 miles, which made for a return trip of the same distance and there was a short hill each way. Given our rides, we all had different diffulcties, mine was the wide cruiser seat being a pain in the ass, literally. I hurt by the turn around point.
But, we all had a good time, made some kids happy and got some free advertising for the shop.
Bikes. They can be used for fun, not just training to be the next Lance Armstrong.
