Girly Pink

I arranged to leave work early this afternoon so that I could pop along
to Avon Valley Cyclery, with BoB, and pick up Jenny's first bike.

I'm impressed that she got her first unicycle before her first bike.

It came down to a choice between the Islabikes CNOC14 and the Puky Z2.
The CNOC14 had a significant weight advantage, at 6.5kg compared to
8.6kg for the Z2, but the Z2 is available in pink. No prizes for
guessing which bike Jenny chose.

Excellent choice by The Young Miss Colyer. The scooter for Young Master
Colyer looks fun too.

I've been looking forward to this for a few weeks. I'm rather pleased
that it took less than the expected 3 weeks to arrive. Looks like DW
and I /will/ be doing something special on our anniversary tomorrow,
even if it has to be something with the kids.

LOL, here's hoping you, your wife and the kids, have a great day. The bike
and scooter look great.

She's had a Lidl like-a-Like-a-Bike for a while now. She's whizzing
around on it, and it became clear a couple of months ago that we
couldn't wait until Christmas to get her a bike with pedals. So, Jenny
knows that Father Christmas is coming early, on the condition that she
has to be really good for the rest of the year. She doesn't know that
he'll be coming tonight.

Carpe diem! It would be silly to wait six months for the glooms of
winter to get your daughter on the bike. You'd miss all the nice weather
and she'd have outgrown pink by then and be demanding something gothic
in black.

We took Jenny for a second trip to the park with her new bike this
afternoon. After a picnic lunch I put the pedals on. After a couple of
rides I was happy letting go, by the time we left the park I was having
to run to keep up :-)

I think the parents here will know how I feel. JPGs and a couple of
videos to follow when I'm able to access my webspace - there seems to be
a problem with it this afternoon :-(

That's two in a week, then.

Welcome Jenny, Welcome Martin Junior!

Yup, mine arrived this morning too. Catherine and I /tried/ to steer
her towards the CNOC14, but for a 4yo girl the most important thing when
choosing a bike is the colour. I even offered to decorate the CNOC14
with the same pinky-purple holographic tape that I decorated her
unicycle with, but no, it had to be all pink.

I expect Charlie's first bike will be a CNOC.

Brings back memories of aching backs and out of breathness from running
along bending over.
