Fun at the bike store

Guess where we went today.

That’s right, we went to the bike store—again. My bike doesn’t like to downshift, but it does like to slip the chain off the gears. Ted’s bike downshifts most of the time, but not always, so we went back to the bike store for a diagnosis. We must have ridden our bikes a lot more than we remember because Ted’s derailleur needed adjusting, and mine was worn out and needed to be replaced.

As we waited for the bike guy to test ride our bikes to check out the problems, we looked around and saw the unicycle stools above, some model bicycles, and the perfect bikes for (very) young riders.

This scale model Schwinn is similar to the bike Ted had when he was a kid.
I’ve never seen a bicycle built for six, but the bike guy assured me it’s a real thing. All the parts–pedals, brakes, kickstands, wheels, etc.–work.
Here’s a model of a rickshaw.
The wheels on these little bicycles are hard plastic (not inflatable), and the bikes are just the right size for two-year-old cyclists.
