I remember him saying that there were separate cables. Honestly, I just wanted to leave the store, and was distracted. ( I had somewhere to go, and I did not want to be looking at bikes just then.

Now that I've got one bike fixed, and feel like I can fix the other myself, I can relax. I don't need to rush out and buy a bike. I'll keep my eyes open for the next beauty though. I was just frantic over not having a bike for my commute that night, and thoroughly fed up with the inconvenience of hauling around bikes on the bus, and not getting them rideable, for various reasons.

But now the bike godess is smilng upon me, because I dedicated the afternoon to my Schwinn Traveller.
