BMXers and a Perfect Start to Summer

Today I was at Penn to buy another light, and as I was leaving, three kids were working on a bike near mine as I was unlocking it. One kid was trying to remove a pedal with an 11/16" wrench. I handed him my 15mm wrench (that no fixed gear rider should ever be without) and helped him change his pedals. These kids were very nice and appreciative. I'm sure I was some freaky "old guy" riding a "weird bike." The shop probably charges $50 in labor alone to change pedals. I still don't understand BMX, but anyone on a bike is OK with me.
