When Ian and I got to the gym this morning, they didn't have his bike yet. We were a little disappointed, but they told us that it would be there in the evening (so we could have picked it up before work). But, it actually came while we were still working out. Ian chose a white one. It's not quite big enough for him (by about 4 inches), so I told him that he's like a BMX'er now.
Meet "Baxter."
Ian doesn't understand the gear system (it's weird), so we don't know how many speeds it has, but it's a clunky mountain bike. I don't know why they are popular here. You hardly see any street bikes. Just old cruisers, mountain bikes and the fold-up jobs like mine (which is a single speed). The size really limits how fast Ian can go, so it's not super great for commuting. But, who cares! Free bikes! That reminds me, I need to tighten up my basket, I nearly lost my bags out of it on the way home from work tonight. I also need to fix my rear break, only my front is working.
On that note, I'm zonked. Good night!

Probably trying to figure out how he's going to fit on it? A small bike is better than no bike but hope it doesn't bother his knees. Happy riding. Do you both have helmets?
