I took advantage of my last day of vacation and spent some quality time with my bike and oh yeah, my son
We rode to our favorite coffee shop for breakfast but before we left, I gifted my '53 Panther to my 12 year old boy as he has officially outgrown his 24" of the same year. He was beyond stoked to be riding a 'big' bike and it just so happens that this bike in particular is about as smooth a rider as I own...you know the one ND rear hub that can actually skid!! The Panther is nice but not too nice which is perfect for him as I watched him jumping off curbs to test the Schwinn springer as I cringed and then just as quickly let it go...he's riding the bike exactly like a 12 year old should...the bike will hold up fine. It's a Schwinn after all.
When it came to taking pictures, he made sure HIS bike was in front!

Riding with a 12 year old is good for the soul!
