Birthday Bike
At 49, they got me a unicycle. At 60, this. Can't wait to see what's next.

Nice. As you cycle and age you will get leaner and shorter. Eventually it will fit. That's my theory.

The good news is that you’re a lot closer to Mother Earth should you have a mishap.

But, hey! Look on the bright side: it's better 'n the nasty DayGlo splatter tie you got back in '99.
You know, with that little thing, I'd want elbow and knee pads. And an opportunity to first put my G.P. onto speed-dial.*
* This from a guy who used to do unicycles, back in the day.
