School Run - Normal is as normal does

Post by Heltor Chasca »

My daughter has just turned 7. We do the school run on my Surly Big
Dummy. If we hadn't have to go and partake in academia we would be in Russia, nearly the Black Sea, the Med, Scandinavia, Greenland, Africa...

What ocean? On 2.35s we were whale watching instead of the lolly pop ladies. Didn't even get salt in my beard...

That's a saddle. I've one got 3 cambiums now. (15&17) Just listened to a great podcast by http://petergostelow.com if you need ideas for Afrika.

I'm all for home-ed/bike-ed. Sure beats school.
