Yesterday, took my daughter riding:

Had great time. Spent some time dialing in daughter's seat height and saddle. Now she can get a good power stroke over the cranks and she could immediately go 10 mph+ and outrun the training wheels on her bike (PK Ripper 16 inch reissue).

Of course I took my BMX bike. Of course I wore my old vans.



Later, we went with mom to a local brewery. (her mom. my wife. not my mom- who bought me the vans)
Not really realizing I was wearing my checkerboard vans (or caring), I noticed a group of fancy young millenials snickering at me from the corner. I didn't really care, except, THEY were wearing "Vans" t-shirts and THEY were wearing Vans shoes. All of them had solid tone Vans. None appeared they had ever ridden skateboards or bikes.

Feeling a little like old Han Solo, I wanted to tell them I was wearing these shoes decades before they were born. I wanted to pull out my blaster and shoot first just for the hell of it.

To Spite them, I went out and ordered these today:




Should be in mail shortly.
I have had the same thing happen, luckly, I was in a good mood but did point out that the pair I was wearing, I had since their big brothers were stains in their daddies catch rags...


BTW, I dug out a used pair of Blue Z-rims, open to trades, have a nice pair of GT Hubs that could be included...
