A friend that is PCSing out was posting a bunch of stuff on FB for sale. I happened to be looking for a pic that a different friend had referred me to and "BING" - up pops this awesome Gary Fisher, 20 inch mountain bike. Huh... Meant for us? I certainly think so!
When Eric went to go get it, he was super excited because it is a great bike, it has been well taken care of, it is not made any more (sad!) and it is the perfect fit!
When my friend's husband caught wind of it getting sold, he balked.
Until it was explained that it was going to a good family... My friends love to ski, bike, try to buy quality over cheap, are silly (and yet a bit too serious?!?), mourn the loss of their kids' bikes... In other words, they sold the bike to people JUST LIKE THEM!
We surprised Stefan with the bike (not a birthday present since we really got it for all three kids - Stefan just happens to be first in line...):
While Stefan was checking out his new digs - Matthew was attempting to get a new ride himself... His sister's!
