This morning, Neil, John, and I hung out at the Oak Park Farmers' Market fixing bikes for donations toward starting a chapter of Trips For Kids! I did more talking than fixing but it was still fun.
Neil and his Cycle Truck did most of the heavy lifting.
It was also a big day for Little Brother who just graduated to his first 20" bike, bringing the number of 20" bikes in our family up to 5--makes it easier to shop for tubes!
We bought this Beinn 20 Small Islabike used from a friend and it needed a little extra love as the back spokes were about as tight as cooked spaghetti. Our friend Neil trued them up as best as possible. Little Brother loves it as he can now pedal comfortably without spinning out trying to keep up with Big Brother. It's pretty hilarious to see them on just about the same bike (BB's is a Large Beinn).

We rode a couple miles over to my aunt's house for lunch and came home with a chalkboard. Never a dull moment when playing bikes!
