I bought a new bike a couple of weeks ago (see picture. It’s not my exact bike but the same model just get rid of the basket and beat it up a little bit and that’s her). I named her Schwinny Cooper, and I love her. Mostly because she’s so damn cute, but isn’t that what love is based on?
Anyway I really tested her out yesterday as J and I road 17.3 miles through Burbank and Glendale. That’s right, poison ivy and all. It was great. Even worth the aching legs today. She was quite a bit squeakier when we got home, but nothing a littl WD-40 won’t fix. I can’t wait to get new tires and brakes for her. She’ll be a real beaut’ then.
