20 minutes bike ride

Owen and I begin to ride our bikes to his parents' for dinner every night. We take the backroad and it will take up to 15 minutes to get there. We meet this little boy on our way every night. He plays by himself on the road. He was riding his scooter the first time we met him. As soon as he saw us, he speeded up and tried to race with us. Well...of course we quickly passed him, and he just said "oh! You win!".
Ever since the first time, as soon as he sees us coming, he will drop his basketball, run to his scooter and race with us. He's so cute. I have an evil idea...I sugguested to Owen...maybe next time we will ride in circle around him so he can't escape. HA! HA!
On our way back, we take the short cut and we use 9.9 seconds to run home because it is still cold at night. I almost ran into the bushes a few times because the big trees blocked all the street light. We gotta go get a flashlight for our bikes for sure.
The main reason to ride our bike is not to exercise, but to save money on gas. I have to pump $3.61 per gallon ar. This is killing me. By the way...today is "Ride Your Bike to Work Day".
