Last year, my boyfriend bought me a vintage ‘79 Schwinn Cruiser that I literally went everywhere with. The warm months were filled with endless bike rides, maintenance projects, and good leg workouts, all while I looked old-school on my old Schwinny bike.
The colder months, however, provide a different story. We had an unbelievably chilly winter that actually extended quite a bit into our spring. Actually, we are just now seeing consistent sunny weather as of last week. Therefore, my poor old bike has been in my garage, looking at me each time I get into my car wondering if I had perhaps forgotten about him.
Well, let me tell you, I have never been so ready for this sun! I have my cute new Lucy hat, my new shades, and a lovely, polished cruiser that has been patiently waiting for my attention.
I also found out that the place I will be moving into this fall has an awesome little bike shop right around the corner that provides every bike service you’ll ever need, or the option to work on your bike personally at your own station. So guess what? My Schwinn will be getting the attention it deserves—almost nearly year-round! Not only is working on my bike a little therapeutic, but it also allows me to have an entirely new respect for bikers and their lifestyle of clean and active transportation!
