Sure, he’s pint-sized. And his bike only has one gear. But that didn’t stop eight-year-old Toby Gaynor of Morris Township from rocketing to the front of Friday’s Critical Mass ride in Morristown.
Technically speaking, the monthly biking event through downtown Morristown is not a race–as Toby’s dad, Conor, frequently reminded him.
Still, we imagine Toby will be doing some bragging next month when he takes his rightful place in the third grade at the Alexander Hamilton School.
The Otten family, meanwhile, rolled out some new bikes from Marty’s Reliable Cycles.
So we expect Toby’s crown may be challenged next month by the likes of Josie, Courtney and Emily Otten–ages 8, 8 and 10–and their pals, Ally and Carly Toth, ages 7 and 9.
