$ (That's what they SAY, for me it felt more like $$) The fenders were a custom add-on. And that's my old basket. . . so I did a little economizing. . .

Anyway, I got my first bike when I was 19. I traded my friend Susan, who had jury duty, childcare. It was an old 5-speed Raleigh with a real leather seat and the coolest decal on the step-through - a girl hula hooping - looking vaguely pin-up, dressed, but with her hair flying and a sassy expression. I feel I need one for this baby (a 7-speed Circa 1.0), too, but have no intention of waiting to ride until I find one. I will be waiting to ride if the ice don't melt!
