Anyone else concerned about the total lack of reaction by the driver of the video car? If I was driving, you would have at least heard a “Holy fuck!”

I guess I’ll need to get another X-Large ziploc bag ready for all the spare cables.

Just a heads up: If you get shitty or mean in these comments I’ll remove them. Go be an asshole somewhere else. 

It would be funny if it weren’t sad to see how both sides of the political spectrum are being manipulated by people that have a vested interest in seeing our national discourse turn into vehement hate.   

Just a heads up, that guy is a fascist thug.

In actuality, I’m very dumb and I have college transcripts on microfiche somewhere to prove it. It’s just that a lot of public data is available on the Google - yet folks commenting on an environmental blog seem to get their panties in a twist when comments go beyond, “cool story, bro.”

I did this with my three kids. Child 1 & 2 were no problem. Child 3 has her own mind. The lessons ended as she hopped off the bike, threw it to the ground, and hurled her helmet at me swearing she would never ride again.

Or...how about the better alternative. Why not let them figure it out themselves like so many kids have done including myself.

Parenting hack: find a gentle low grassy Hill such as in a park, or long incline, but thick grass. Send your kid down without having to worry about peddling, working just on balance. They feel much safer because their feet are available off the pedals to catch themselves, and it’s soft grass. After they get balance,…
