Beautiful. This reminds me of my 13-year-old. A few months ago, he asked for a road bike after helping at my friend’s bike shop over the entire summer. His reasoning was simple: “Dad, get me the bike with the discount because you know the owner!” Then we came up with a plan: “We’ll train together in the garage over winter, and when the weather in Poland gets terrible, we can travel somewhere nice and ride outside!” - I think either Spain or Italy will be our first cycling trip together in spring 2025. I am already winning, riding together with him in the garage 3 times a week, not because of the riding but because of what goes around it and the conversations during the actual ride. This is +3-hrs more of my best self shared with him every week ❤️

A beautiful story.
Axel and I will do our next Euro trip in 2026. Right now, we are thinking Italy.
