I've been searching CraigsList for weeks now for just the right bike for Max. Just the right bike for Max has to be just the right price for mum. It has hand brakes and gears! I surprised him after school on Monday with it. And guess what? He hated it the moment he laid eyes it. Hm. How did I mess that one up so badly? It's blue, it looks like a bmx bike, it's for big kids. Okay, so it's used. But really, c'mon. It had weird stickers on it, I guess. We peeled off the stickers and Chris shined it up a bit. Coleman told him he thought it was cool. This helped. A lot. He climbed on and sped off down the road, stopped fast and made an awesome skid mark. Sold! Skid marks are cool. Now, so is his "new" blue bike. Phew.
Max woke at 6:30 in the morning on Tuesday so he could get to the bike park before school! Which didn't really work out because Coleman was still asleep and Max wouldn't go without Coleman. So he settled for riding around the neighborhood. Later that day the three boys (Max, Coleman, Chris) made it to the bike park and had a blast there together.
