Not that it doesn’t require the same amount of talent (or more), but because it just looks so weird.

I really like trials, on the other hand. This is a form of bicycling that is so far beyond my scope of understanding. Trials bikes are by far the strangest looking bikes ever. Although, some of the new bmx frames are looking more and more like trials frames.

This guy is a fine mix of it all. It still looks funny, but he is mixing it all together in such cool way. I’m sure there are others that ride like this and my even be better, too bad they didn’t pop up on feedcaster.com.

For Christmas, Shauna and I bought her nephew a 16” bicycle. It’s a badass red Huffy. Every time we watch him, all he wants to do is have me push him around on my bike. So we knew that getting him the bike was a sure bet.

Unfortunately, Shauna and I were both under the weather (to say the least). So we weren’t able to give it to him on Christmas.

I think it was that following weekend or thereabout when we got to watch him and surprise him! He was so excited to see it. He ran right over to it and jumped on, grabbed the bars and tried to pedal. Too bad he was on some fairly thick carpet that kept him from moving.

Despite the weather that day being cold and wet, we headed to the closest parking garage. He is such a natural. It was fun pedaling around with him. He hasn’t been over since, but we’ll have him over again soon and possibly get those training wheels off!
