That is the best bicycle decoration ever! The outfit is nice too. I hope you’ll be showing them off all day!

Thanks! Ironically, I did a mountain bike ride with a friend today up on the ridge above Saratoga. The weather was gorgeous but you could see the fog over the Pacific.
But I did get out and ride it around town after I got home. I got a few comments. My favorite was from a middle school aged boy who asked me how long it took me to do it. When I told him 5 hours he said it was worth it. Made me smile.
