Your family sounds pretty great -- awesome kids, MIL, DH , and you -- the whole package -- yay for you all! It's great she's got a shop with an appreciative and supportive staff -- here that's not so likely in 2/3 of our shops. When you go home perhaps you can stop in with a beverage (is

Swet! Hilarious on the bottle cage. That's why I teach my kids to always try it to make sure it works. Clearly the poor lad didn't put a bottle in that cage. Sardonic grin. Will his Mom's purchace help or hinder hubbie's love of his bike? Even bigger sardonic grin. With abandon, Patrick

Looks like just the right amount of accoutrements. As to the bottle cage, I looked at it & wondered "what's wrong?". Chuckle, after reading the other replys. And this is your MIL? I've heard of MILs nudging at a distance; didn't realize the energy could flow the other way. Good for you,
