Listen, first and foremost I am not what I would describe as a “fun hater” when it comes to things kids do or don’t do out and about around Northern Colorado. I have two kids, and more than anything I want them to be safe, but I also want them to have fun being kids.
When we were kids, that fun included riding our bikes everywhere we went – back home by the time the street lights came on. For the more adventurous, we’d tape a baseball card in our spokes, or run over an empty juice box to nestle it in the hub of our back wheel to give us that crisp, motorcycle sound as we rode around town.
Fast forward to 2025 and kids are basically riding actual motorcycles everywhere, at least electric motorized bicycles. I don’t blame them… it’s just that maybe us grownups are jealous?…
