I dunno how you guys put up with the delays on your orders ...

at least I know the delivery I'm waiting for is going to take another 6 months to build ....



.... then N+1 will kick in ...

It'll have to be an add-on seat to start with, then probably a trailer, but hopefully not too long before a balance bike .... :D


yup - 6 months is going to seem like a lifetime, but I know it'll go quick ... :D

    congrats!

    however, as N+1 kicks in, there is the counterbalancing adjustment of N-1, which is the number of bikes required to stay solvent!!!

    Tell me you're not extending the bike/kid analogy here, otherwise I think it's a mini-bus you're needing :D
