A Fun First Ride

Enjoyed a fun first ride today--experimenting with an unorthodox setup--some ride 2x setups, some 1x (some still bold enough to run a triple), but I wanted something that would stand out, so I've gone with a 0x in the front. Lever-actuated drum brake in the back, this bike has it all.

Seriously, though, it was a special feeling to watch our youngest roll out on his own for the first time. He had played around with his brother's bike before, but this was his first time taking his own bike out into the neighborhood.

(In other news, how is it this warm in February?)
