I drove the Ford to my parent's house, parked it between the Saturn and the Xebra, and biked the 38 miles home. Bear in mind that I'm in Minnesota, and its February.

I could probably handle it myself, but I'd still need a car. People get pissy when you put an infant on a bike in the middle of winter!

All you gotta do is wrap the kid in a plastic bag. That will keep him warm, right? right?

I'm restoring one of these for him.

He's 9 months old... I guess I've got awhile to restore it, eh?

Lulz.

I think I'm going to go electric on it with a restrictor or something to keep the speed down.

He'll start just riding on back roads with me on my "town" bike, to get a feel for how it works before going on any real rides, but it's all country roads out here, so I can get us just about anywhere on the side of a dirt road.

Even at 5 or 6 years old, I see no reason we couldn't visit people on the bikes.
