Remember that scene from Wedding Crashers when Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams are riding bikes? I could watch all of that movie over and over again, but I sure do love that scene. And whatever song it is playing as they bicycle along the coast. It encompasses the total joy and freedom of summer.
And I want a bike. I haven't had a bike in several years. I now have couple of friends that like biking distance from my house and a little boy who loves to "ride bikes." This means he gets on his tricycle and I push him. Boo.
I am on a a mission to find a bicycle this weekend. I need the whole she-bang. A bike, a helmet, and a child carrier thing for the back. There is a Schwinn store that sells used bikes nearby my house so I think Johan and I will start there on Saturday, but it's been a long time so if anyone has any advice for bike-buying, bring it on.

You need two helmets - one for you and one for the little guy. My only advice would be don't buy the cheapest bike. Go to a reputable shop and let them help you get the right bike for you.
Oh, and have fun!
Forgot to mention... Bell and I think Giro have a program that when your child outgrows their helmet, you bring it back and get a discount on the next one. Good incentive to keep that precious noggin safe.
