Youth Earner Gets a Cool Fat Tire Bike

A lucky bike earner gets a like new, Mongoose Fat Tire bike. We don't get many of these and not usually in such great condition. We hope he enjoys the freedom riding up and down the alleys in his neighborhood, to his friends, parks and other favorite places. And he will be ready for some winter snow riding.

When I was his age, I had a green Schwinn Varsity 3-Speed, hand-me-down from my cousin. Most of my friends had similar 3-speed, state of the art bikes.

I wonder what my friends and I would have thought about a bike like that Fat Tire! Bikes sure have changed!
