we grew up riding bikes for ALL REASONS, BE IT fun OR JUST TRYING TO GET OVER TO OUR FRIEND’S HOUSE. A PILE OF BIKES IN THE FRONT YARD WAS A CLEAR SIGN WHERE EVERYONE WAS HANGING OUT. Bikes meant freedom! These machines gave us the ability to GET AROUND. A WAY TO GEt OUT of your comfort zone and explore new places. LIFE MOVES forward, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN WE HAVE TO MISS OUT ON THAT feeling. the BIG OLE GRIN ON OUR FACE, THE WIND IN OUR HAIR, AND THE FREEDOM A SIMPLE MACHINE GIVES US.
