NEW (to You) BIKE

My Japanese teacher was PCSing out and asked if I would like a bike. I said, 'Yes!' So, we went by and picked it up. William was so excited because it has GEARS!!! He was so funny. He would open windows in our house and peer out to look at it because it was so cool.
It also has a couple of lights, one with a charger, and it still has a basket!
It had a flat tire, so mom pumped it up. It worked for a few hours, then dad had to help fix the tube. The second time it went flat, Tim had William fix his own tube! It was so heart-warming to see the dad/son bond, and how patient Tim is with William while he learns skills that are useful in this life.
The wheels are much larger than his last one, but he sits low enough to easily put his feet down to balance.
This is his old bike. Not only is it small...
but the tread was GONE he'd ridden it so much! It was most definitely time for a new bike!
