Mom has been saving her birthday money for a bike. So I went bike shopping with her on Saturday (after we went to the farmer's market!). Who knew there were so many bike shops and bike enthusiast in Memphis? We started at Peddlers on Highland where they were polite, but didn't really offer any bikes with coaster breaks and baskets, so we went to Mid Town Bikes, which is actually on Main. Mom had been there before, but I didn't feel good about the experience...the carefree shop owner was nice, but not very forth coming with recommendations and didn't carry much inventory. We then went to Victory on Broad where the help was very knowledgable, but they focus on the true enthusiast! They sent us to All About Bikes in Mendenhall and that is where we hit the jackpot! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The one they recommended for mom was actually one that a customer at Midtown had recommended. It is a KHS Smoothie. They took it outside and encouraged her to 'test' drive it! It was what she was looking for and man is it a cool, nice bike!
The weather this weekend has been perfect to ride in!
On Saturday night we celebrated with Logan at the Redbirds game. It was a beautiful night that ended with a great firework display!
Rockey even stopped to wish the Birthday boy a Happy Day and to read his mind. Seems Logan was thinking about cake and ice cream!
