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 that guy 21?) for the mechanic and gently show him how fenders and the Iris cage are supposed to be mounted!

Re: [RBW] Re: New Bike Day: Mother-in-Law
Haha! Yes, it's my MIL's bike. We're a rare pair in that we actually love each other and work in our mutual best interests. I hit gold when I got my in-laws as family. My late father-in-law was even more wonderful, and that's saying something. My MIL wanted a bike like ours after all the excitement 'round here. But she fell in love with Riv all by herself after calling and chatting with Miesha. Sealed the deal. My MIL is "Minnesota nice" and Miesha is cut from the same cloth. She decided to buy everything but the kitchen sink after that. She called me with her credit card and told me to "get everything you can get for my bike." Yikes. Then she called Miesha and ordered a load of hats, bandanas, clothing and other gear. I cringe to think of the bill. The mechanic said over and over how solidly made and deluxe her bike was, which thrilled her to no end. She took the photos and insisted on one with the mechanic, but there isn't one of her! I'm bringing our Rivs home this summer and we'll ride ours and hers together all over the Paul Bunyan State Trail. A family reunion, indeed.

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, and she's lucky to have you in her family. dougP On Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 8:47:31 AM UTC-8, LeahFoy wrote: > > My mother-in-law got excited over my husband's new bike.

Always nice when a little more beauty enters the world! Give your mother-in law our congratulations on her good taste. As for the the cage christen it with champaign and it will look just fine.

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day: Mother-in-Law
Jeez. I thought I was the only one who installed that bottle cage upside down. For what it's worth, it works upside down; you just have to kind of wrestle the bottle in and out a bit. Works a whole lot better, however, when it's properly installed.

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.
