How can you feel anything other than a freaking rockstar with that? Such an amazing thing for the players and kids. 

When I was 13 or 14 I had 20" GT Performer. Gilbert Brown looked at, smiled and I can't remember exactly what he said, but it was something about crushing it, lol. I had built that bike myself, piece by piece, literally every single part (including bearings) on it was put on by me when I was about 11. I had that thing rocking! 

Anyhow, this kind of stuff just makes me so happy.

As in the image, it looks like a mother with a fairly young child, at least compared to the rest you see.

Also, I think I've normally seen linemen get to ride those (OL Sean Rhyan on the one in the video) which has made me wonder, if they also might double as some of the bikes (or at least not enough or the bikes) can handle the big guys well. So they get this alternative, which will both hold the big guys, but also give more opportunities, for some kid that couldn't go alone, or some kid that doesn't have a bike, etc.

I enjoy watching the players and young fans interact. I brought my son to a couple of training camps. I asked if he wanted to bring his bike. He thought about it and said no. It's a 4 hour trip. It would have worked out but he thought it would be a hassle. 
The other thing I noticed that is great is Jordan Love is there with the fans and his teammates. The years I brought my son were Favre years. He rode in the back of an SUV that went inside the fence. No interaction with the fans. Smoked glass, windows rolled up. Didn't stand at the fence to talk with the kids. I get it that if he tried to walk to the practie field he would have been mobbed. But make an effort. Chat with the kids for 5 or 10 minutes before and after practice.

Well, he's not on a bike but there's some in the background and it's occurring when they would be riding so I'm putting it in this thread.

Fan Shout
beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player
Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity
Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.
CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol
Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
