Lindsey's Tour de France career begins

MARSEILLE - Big day on the kid milestone marker today as Lindsey rode - I mean really rode - a bike for the first time. First a few laps around the parking lot at the local supermarket (closed, of course - it's Sunday!), and then some more laps around a piazza in Marseille where we went for lunch. She did awesome, only a couple minor spills, and is well on her way to Tour de France caliber.

Bike riding is obviously taken very seriously here and everyone does it. Lindsey and Savannah are both late bloomers when it comes to biking because we weren't really set up too well to learn and practice such things on the island. Both of them have taken to the two wheelin' enthusiastically - and sans training wheels. There's plenty of places to ride around here so I'm sure they'll be touring the French countryside in no time.

Dad will stick to 4 wheels for the time being...
