labor day weekend preparation

this is the new ride. it's a raleigh mxr, complete with custom handlebars, low and cut.
the first ride up the street. he looks really tiny bobbing back and forth on the pedals. he only started riding without training wheels a couple of months ago, so the jump to the 20" is quite an accomplishment. his last bike has been around since mid 2004, and it was of dubious quality. this raleigh should help him vault into the bigtime.

in the next day or so, i'll reveal hanna's race machine. she won't see it until race night at laffayette, so she'll be surprised. she's been asking for me to remove the fenders and put on smaller tires. i think it looks trick.
