It was awesome. Until we had a race in the local supermarket parking lot and my brother got his bike caught up in some wire, flipped ass over tea kettle and knocked out his three front teeth. While I promptly drove over his face with my bike while trying to stop. It was lovely. The kids and I ride bikes every summer together. I love it. <em>Redneck Mommy's last blog post..<a href='http://theredneckmommy.com/2008/03/07/nightmare-on-redneck-road/'>Nightmare on Redneck Road</a></em> When I was ten, I woke up Christmas morning to bikes beside the Christmas tree for my brother and me.
