Most of us wouldn’t even consider getting our bikes out so early in the season, but I know of one little trooper who couldn’t wait to break some new trails. There was just one problem. His helmet was in Grandma & Grandpa’s trailer in Florida. I finally decided that in the absence of a helmet, the only thing he would be allowed to ride outside would be his tricycle. Surely that was a safe option.

I hadn’t considered that he’d be breaking trails on the tops of snowbanks. Oh well, live and learn!
