My daughter Ani wanted a new bike for Christmas, and said she wanted one just like Dad's. Nothing could have made me happier than seeing her getting into cycling on a more serious level than what her previous department store bike could offer.
Walt at Contees hooked us up with a 24" Felt. It's a sweet ride...much better than any bike I owned when I was eight. It has STI shifters and even a carbon fork. This was the first time Ani rode a bike with gears. After a few minutes she was shifting effortlessly, and wanting to pick up the speed. We maxed out at fifteen miles an hour...not bad for her first ride! We got one day of riding in before the blizzard dumped a foot of snow on Connecticut, but we're already planning our first long ride. Look out Lance...
