Funny story about bike racks on back of Vans... My way younger brother saved his money and bought a very nice ($$$) mountain bike. The first week he had it, the family (they who were still at home) went camping with the bikes on the bike-rack on the back of Caravan. At the camp site, my old-man finished checking-in, jumped in the nano-van (Compared to a Vanagon), and backed right into a tree. This smashed the rear window, and bent my brothers brand new bike. He turned around to the family in the caravan and yelled very angrily and loudly "DIDN'T ANYBODY SEE THAT TREE?" I hope, for *my* children's sake, I come up with something that can top that someday. Matthew p.s. I did break a finger 2 weeks ago having a "jump off the swing the farthest contest" with my 12 year old. Still not as good though.
