I'm on the first leg of a four family stint in New Jersey. Thought I'd be sans bike for almost a week, but was pleased to find that my brother-in-law, Alexander (14), got a new chopper style cruiser.
We found a hex wrench to tighten up the nearly three foot tall handlebars and took it for a spin.
After a while the circulation begins to drain from the hands. Still a fun diversion!
