We have had problems with Alison's old bike. On the last two camp outs, Alison has been unable to ride because of flat tires. We have replaced so many tubes, we even replaced the tire. We have spent more fixing the bike than on the bike itself. Alison has been a huge sport over all of this, but my heart just broke when I saw the tears in her eyes when the bike, complete with new tubes came off of the bike rack with a flat. She did not get to ride it even once on this last trip. Craig and I talked about it and decided that we needed to replace the bike instead of trying to fix it even one more time.
Craig took Alison with him to pick it out. She chose a pink and grey one (of course). She is so proud of it, each time we walk through the garage she has a huge grin as she walks by it.
