Haven't ridden for a long while but a friend of mine had one sitting in her garage for a couple of years and she only rode it twice. So she gave it to me! It's a Schwinn, no speed. Basically a little girl's bike but I'm a little old lady so it should be fine. Just something I can pedal to the library and the store, since I don't have a car. I haven't ridden it yet because the tires need air so I sent off for a nifty little electric tire filler that should arrive tomorrow.

I had forgotten we had a Bicycling Group here so I was really pleased you mentioned it in the Fiction Group. Now I know where to come if ever anything doesn't seem right with it. Yay!
