   Because my bike has been broken for a while,  I am thinking about trying to buy  a new bike  called mobo.   It looks  really  cool and I have seen it in action when an athlete rode it to Special Olympics  golf practice this past summer.





 Happy  Friday everyone tune in  next week for Week two.   Have a great weekend,
