Middle Son blew a hole the size of my thumb in the back tyre on his bike by making a few too many skid stops. I’ve finally got around to replacing the tyre and inner tube so he’s able to use his bike again. Now he wants to travel under his own steam all the time, which suits me: it’s easier then schlepping him up hills…

Great! With a car he would only become independent at the age of 18.

Exactly. And I’d debate that even: he’d be free as long as he was kept spplied with oil, and the government maintains the roads to a very high standard, and there’s a good supply of parts when the car breaks down and the government owned and delivered sattelites stay in place to keep the Navi working… This way he’s able to keep going as long as the bike doesn’t wear out, which with care (and no more skidding) it won’t for some time.

So does that mean Middle Son is learning tire (tyre) repair?
