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.

dfosterf (15h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (15h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (15h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (15h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (16h) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (16h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (16h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (17h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (19h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (19h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (20h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
