The New Girl in Town

Needing a bike to ride around town–Sophie and Isabelle are a tad bit of overkill when going to the store or the coffee-shop–I’ve been thinking I should get myself a cruiser to fit-in with the Salida locals.  Seems just about every one here rides around on a single-speed vintage cruiser of some sort.  Sunday afternoon, Sandi’s phone rang. It was Michael and he’d found an old Schwinn at a local thrift store/consignment shop that I might be interested in.

Ten minutes later, I was checking out that blue ladies framed Schwinn Collegiate, year unknown.  Sure it had a broken spoke and dented seat-stay and fairly tall gearing.  And sure my heal bumped the rear rack when I pedalled, but otherwise, it was perfect!  The little white tag said $70; I was hoping I could get it for $60 with a bit of negotiating.  No need; as we checked out this little number, a lady came outside and announced “if you’re interested I can do better on the price.”  “If you can do better on the price, I’m definitely interested” I replied.  “How about $55?”  “Deal!”

And there you have it, yet another bike in the stable.  She’ll need a little bit of work, a little bit of love, though not much, and she’ll need a name; something that starts with an “S.”  In the meantime, you’ll now find me proudly cruisin’ around Salida on my blue Schwinn, a piece of American cycling history.
I love bicycles.
