The KW Santa Claus parade started today near King St. and University Ave. Susan Koswan mobilized several environmental groups from the area to enter a float consisting of bikes from the Bicycle Forest and a bunch of festive costumes.  The day was a smashing success and we’re all looking forward to doing it again next year.

This afternoon, Jim rented the BikeE E2 recumbent tandem for his mother’s 88th birthday.  Jim’s mother had never had a chance to ride a bike before in her life, so Jim thought this would be a good chance to fulfill a lifelong dream.

I met Jim and his incredible mother out at RIM Park, the rain held up just long enough for them to have a leisurely ride along the Walter Bean Trail.

Great idea Jim. Happy Birthday Mrs. Farwell!!
