John Doherty had come back from skiing Friday afternoon and he and his young son, Declan, had some time on their hands.

"It's still light enough that we can travel around town," said Doherty, as he dragged Declan on the sled behind the bike.

And what about Declan? 

"He was all for it," said Doherty, as Declan yelled "Go!"
