    That traveling Raleigh Marathon Mixte

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    First it was in Missouri, then in Mississippi, then in Maryland (I think?), and now it's in Arkansas! For good. I put some upright bars on it off an old Schwinn, changed the brakes, added a rack, and now it's ready to ride. If I can bear to part with it, it will be pulling my precious grandson to the grocery store in a small town in the Ozarks, with his mother pedaling.

    (That's Lucy, doing her Vanna White impression for the camera.)

    It was just begging for something other than road bars, wasn't it? I hope it turns my DIL into a real cyclist!
