    After looking at the site, I’m glad to see that alcohol is not part of this event. There was a time when there was a clear line between kid stuff and adult activities. My own personal opinion is that biking is for kids and that you reach a point in your life when you move on to other modes of transportation. I hope that this event is not only successful, but that the kids, and I mean young people under the age of 16, rule the day.

      My own personal opinion is that no one should be urged from bicycle to wheelchair at any point in their life.

      I have indeed moved on to other forms of transportation. Now instead of kids bike, I have a mountain bike, and a cross bike, and a kick bike, and a tractor-trailer bike, and a fat bike….

    I am so sorry that you think people are supposed to outgrow bikes. I am 33 and used my bike as transportation today, yesterday, and the day before for work. I also like to ride in the woods and on the Blue Ridge Parkway for fun. I do not live in a flat place nor a particularly bike friendly place. But I live in a beautiful place and feel great mentally and physically because of riding my bike. You are missing out!

    There were quite a few errors that I wanted to correct in the previous post but because of the vast left wing conspiracy against conservative opinion on the Internet, I could not. I have found that editing a post using an IPad is interesting to say the least. Anywho, if you see the word torch, it should be truck and if you see the F word, blame it on Samuel Jackson.
