Raleigh experience?

[MomOnBike]

I have a vintage Raleigh that I love. Now, I know that there have been changes in the 30 plus years since I bought the bike, but it's at least a sentimental favorite around here.

Whatever bike you get, be sure it makes you smile. Life is too short to ride a bike that does not make you smile.

Oh, I like that!

I'm still waiting on the Vita (in my size) to come in so I can ride it. I am getting very anxious. I just want to buy a bike already!!!

I grew up in a troubled home and I always rode my bike to get out of the house. I remember the sense of freedom I felt riding away from it all... I still feel that way every time I ride a bike...

I've always had cheap mountain bikes, so all these bikes are making me smile. The decision is a little overwhelming, but I just look forward to getting a bike and riding it like I'm running away from something...

But I ended up getting a Specialized Vita Sport. The white/red/black one. I absolutely love it!
