Happy Father's Day. I extend this wish, not only to those of you who are male parents, but to any of you who have taught a child--or any young person--important life lessons and skills.
Since you're reading this blog, you probably agree that the most important skill--or, at least, one of the most important skills is riding a bicycle. So for those of you who stayed with some kid until she or he learned how to pedal while balancing on two wheels, I offer this, from World of Wander on Etsy New Zealand:
Most of you would probably agree that one of the most important lessons is the knowledge of right from wrong. Many of you, I'm sure, learned that at least in part from your fathers:
Finally, some of you would argue that the most important thing that your fathers imparted to you--and perhaps the thing you share most as adults--is beer. (Such is not the case for my father: He--thankfully--has never been much of a drinker.) If your father loves bikes and beers, you might want to give him this:
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't end this post without mentioning the film that shows, more than any other that I am aware of, just how a bicycle can bring a father and child together.
That film, of course, is the monumental Ladri di Biciclette:
I hope that it doesn't take the theft of your, or anyone else's, bike to bring you and your father (or, for that matter, mother) together!
