After reading it I wondered why his son did not want his Dad's old bike.

Thanks for sharing--it's a nice, spare write up.
I love the idea of having a bike for a long as possible, which I'll try to do. I wonder how many people who have bikes for a lifetime start out that way intentionally. More often, I would think people start off enamored of the idea, but then maybe move on. I wondered this too. There must a lot of reasons why that wouldn't have worked. Fit? Interest? It may well be that the bike was heavy with associations better remembered at a distance? Or that it was seen simply as a tool, which is reasonable too. |

Great story. I think many of us can relate to that.
For me, it's more like "A boy and his pony...er...I mean, his bike." I told my kids they have no birthright claim to any of my bikes... If they are not going to ride it or appreciate it, the best thing they can do to honor their old man is to find and give them to someone who will.

There really wasn't much information out there--although the French touring tradition was well established. |
