It was a good life until….

The dream came to an end.  I realized that the kids section wasn’t holding a torch to the high quality and well fitted adult section.  Now, when I walk into the store (head hung low) I head straight for the good stuff in the adult section. Why don’t they make the kids selection as amazing as adult clothes so that I can go back to paying second hand price for new stuff!

Leave it up to bikeportland.org to relate my story to bikes.
