Bicycle Rider's Clothing Hunt

It had been a long time since Sean and his Dad had seen each other. Sean's Dad had ridden his scooter for 30 minutes to get to Sean's Mum's shop. The trip had started off under cloudy skies but by the time Sean's Dad had arrived at the shop he'd been riding through rain for 15 minutes.

The first thing they did was go and get some breakfast. Sean likes hot chocolate with his morning meal.


He likes to put on a special pose when his Dad points the camera at him.


So, his Dad took another picture that was bit more normal.


Sean had ordered the Childrens' Meal. It looked like the least healthy thing on the menu in a shop that boasts about how healthy its breakfasts are....


The only thing they did after breakfast was ride around for hours, going to different bicycle shops and sports shops trying to find proper bicycle shorts and tops for Sean. He wants two sets, two shirts and two pairs of shorts, because he is planning to take part in a big group ride in late-December. The group will ride 600kms from the southernmost tip of Taiwan all the way to the island's northernmost point in 10 days. Unfortunately, Sean and his Dad could only find one set of clothes the right size even after spending three hours searching. Everywhere they looked the clothes were too big.



The search will continue later.
