Nope. Sheesh, I have too many bikes as it is (3 myself). With kids bikes and all, we have a grand total of 8 bikes.
We had a triathlon last spring and a 18ish year old young man rode the bike portion of it on a cruiser quite similar to this one.
Momentarily, I imagined myself on this bike, pumping my you know what off in this years spring tri - gives new meaning to the phrase "you go, girl"!!

some guy did the 40 mile ride of the philly livestrong bike challenge this year on a banana seat huffy kind of bike, no gears and brakes on the pedals, that sort of bike. my friends made certain to point out to my sister and i that at the 12 mi point, he was ahead of us. :) though that was more due to my wipe out than anything. in the end, we did finish ahead of him. thank heaven or we would have never lived it down!

There's a team on AIDS Lifecycle who rode from SF to LA on fixed gear or freewheel bikes. :eek:

But mostly the guy said something like "this bike will make you feel like a kid again". And while cycling in general does that for me, riding my mixte freewheel really does that. :D Someone snap up that bike :cool:

Actually he said "make you FELL like a kid again". Apparently his balance isn't so hot. :D

Possibly the bike is a widowmaker - the kind of bike that bucks you off for no reason whatsoever. My mom had a bike like that when we were kids. Come to think of it now, it was a Schwinn. Hmmm...............

I can't believe I didn't catch the misspell. :p
