I'm on vacation with the family here in Long Beach Island (LBI), NJ. This is our annual beach vacation with my wife's family. So many kids its crazy.
I've got no Internet access while I'm here so I'm stuck moblogging with the trusty Treo.
The photo above is pretty typical of the bike scene here on the island. All the high school and college kids that work and play on the island for the summer tool around on wide body beach cruisers. Very smooth.
