I know it's not Friday, but we're headed out this weekend and I wanted to possibly get a bicycle for my son since that's all I hear about 10 times a day. He's cruised around on 12" and 16" bikes at the stores no problems (with training wheels) but they always seem like such a crutch to me. He has a little plastic motorcycle with wide wheels that he flats foots around the house and then zooms for 10 or 20 feet with his feet up. Of course the wheels are 6 inches wide, so balancing is not really a

problem. However, I've seen these "coaster" bikes from Germany (Kettler and Like-a-bike at two) that seem like the way to go to get started. No pedals and you just cruise around gliding further and further until you're ready for a pedal bike. The things are PRICEY though and I'm hoping there is something cheaper available. Has anyone had any experience with these things and has anyone found something cheaper? Any advice is helpful. The little guys is large for his age and seems pretty

coordinated, but what do I know, he's my first and I'm a proud dad.

Required Van Content: Got my AC charged this morning. It was blowing only medium cool. I have a very slight leak at the compressor that needs

to be fixed. Do I need to replace the whole compressor? Is this a good time for the 134 conversion? Also, I have two unopened cans of R-12 that I need to go to a good home. Make me an offer, especially if you are local to SLC, UT.
