Cool story, Congrats. My dad retired last summer and I have been trying to get him to get a bike or a trike so we could ride together. I live in MD and he lives in CT. My parents have a vacation place in MD and since my mom retired last week they plan on spending half their time in each place. Keep trying to convince him get something and leave it in MD. I might break him eventually.

As a dad I can really appreciate that story. I only wish I could that for each of my boys. Great memories, good times. Enjoy him while he's around. I had a close call a couple of years ago, and it really sets your priorities straight. Thanks for sharing.

It's a shame to hear none of your 4 sons ride,

I sure wish my father/brother rode. My brother has interest but no money as he is still in school, and my father loves to take my bike and had bikes before me. I hope some day all three of us get to ride together!
