Julia's 20" bike looked like it was ideal for a 6 year-old. So, we dusted off a bike from the shed, pumped up the tires, and headed out for a test ride. Julia stood on the scale holding both bicycles. Even though the new one was a 24" with a much bigger frame, it was 3 pounds lighter (27 lbs).

| We needed some re-hydration 8 miles into the ride! Julia's is on the 'new to her' bike. |
 |
| This cop was going to pull me over for speeding ... if he could catch me! |
 |
| Route we followed, pace was 'relaxed' |
Map key:
- Metro stop. Recharged two metro cards for RJ's field trip with Sara as chaperone.
- 7-Eleven. Critical stop.
- Doug tries to outrun the Fairfax County cop.
Takeaways:
- Julia is a much better biker on a properly sized and lighter bike.
- Biking 11.2 miles with a flu was not a good idea for Doug.
