@David Yang-Considering Bart or Lisa for names yet?

@JohnMalcolmson - Since it's a boy, how about "Chopper?" (Yeah, I know he was Aussie and not Kiwi, but....you know.) 
David, that gives us a solid couple of months to get you into the 3s.  Team challenge accepted!
Thanks for the well wishes, all!  @Bruce - that's a really nice offer, but considering I'll probably be MIA after the kid arrives and demands to be fed and sheltered, it might be strategically better if we try to upgrade someone who will have more time to contribute once they get to the 3s...
Such good news Dave!
@nelix Little Chop-Chop. I like it.
Right on David. Right on.
Clearly Kissena had a lot of off-bike activity this past summer & fall-- my wife's due in May!  Also our first.  yayyyyy!
holy Moley! Congratulations!
Congratulations to Dave S.!  (There must be something in the water..)

Don't you mean, something in the "Osmo?"
Warning No formatter is installed for the format not-found
Congrats Dave! Welcome to lots of joy and sleepless nights ; )
There's a group in NYC trying to set up group rides for kids.  They're called Kidical Mass. Mostly they're in Brooklyn right now, but they're trying to set up a ride in every borough this year.  I'm helping them set something up for Harlem probably on April 25 which will start and finish in Morningside Park.

you can read about them more on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/kidicalmassnyc

And in the Daily News: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/queens/bike-group-kidical-mass-grows-city-article-1.2096938

Developing racers on the ten-year plan.  ;)
I mean, it's a great way to promote riding bikes to kids, but couldn't they find a better name for it?
You need to get them on a fixed wheel trike early in order to develop souplesse. Probably.
Also, fixed trike = sweet skids.
Here's a Kidical Mass ride in Harlem on Harlem's celebration of Earth Day.

There should be other Kidical Mass rides in other boroughs.  Several in Brooklyn.
I just heard that our dear Johnny Wrongway is a daddy now.
Check out those calf muscles...

Steal as many of those pink and blue hospital blankets as you can. They are the perfect size and stretchiness for swaddling (i.e. wrapping up baby like a burrito).
congrats, Johnny!
Great news, John. Good looking boy. Congrads!!
Congrats John!!!
Oh man. I guess we know who is going to be wearing the green jersey in the 2030 FBF series...


Can't say this enough - mazel tov!! I think that with all the Kissena babies being born lately, we'll have a pretty good squad in 2030! I nominate my kid for sprint lead of yours and kom. 
Thanks fellas! We are headed home today from hospital, all going super well.

We have half the hospital in our suitcase (thanks for the tip Marc). 

He peed all over our doctor coming out. Fun times.

Congrats John !
Very cool John!

It's just about that time. Peter is going to be ready for a pedal bike soon. We're thinking for his 3rd birthday in July. What size/features should I look for?
