Summary: ...in which we continue last week's conversation about teaching kids to ride safely on the road, and Randy actually skips a day of riding his bike to work! Mike talks about his garage being demolished, and the ensuing bicycle storage and security problems. Randy gives us an update on the slow progress of the planning for his new shed, and all the treasures that were hiding underneath the old one. The advantages of unheated bicycle storage. A top ten list of things we yell at our kids to keep them out of trouble on the street. We mentioned the FollowMe Tandem coupler for linking a small bike to a large one, which led to a mention of the theft of Emily Finch's famous bakfiets in Portland last year. (Mike incorrectly repeated the idea that it had been left unlocked). Who should have priority when bicycles meet on a hill? The kids are starting to do tricks on their bikes! We have a brief, highly speculative discussion about metabolism. For some real information on that, you could try reading a book by [amazon text=Gary Taubes&asin=1400033462] (if you've got a month or so to kill...)
