MOB Mentality

It's true, I've joined a mob! "Mom's on Bikes", that is. And while I don't ride a Huffy, I have recently rejoined the many mom bike riders in the world.  I don't even mind that Huffy is trying to capitalize on this movement. Or that some have said their ads are sexist. Because hey, life is too short. And the more bikes there are in this country at least, the less cars there will be. And that can only be a good thing.


Plus I really like their logo! It kind of adds a little cool that the pithy (and alleged sexist) tag lines take away. Here it is, borrowed it from their Facebook page, which I've "liked" so that I can keep up with what they are doing. Who knows, maybe they will have a contest and I can win a brand spanking new Huffy. Which may or may not be better than the old school (used) Murray 5 speed cruiser I picked up at the bike shop. (Which coincidentally replaced my old 90's Huffy mountain bike that I lost in the move, and had very good luck with over the years, btw.)

I know for sure that Kiki would love it and try to steal it from me! Yes, she is like that. (Weren't you when you were her age?) And it would be so much more appropriate than her older brother's childhood hand me down 90's Dyno VFR BMX. 

Hint hint, Huffy - what do you say? Here, I'll even drop a link to your Facebook page. ☺
