We simply couldn't afford a second car.<br /><br />Eventually we got more prosperous and bought that second car and the Oly 12 spent about 20 years hanging from hooks in various garages we owned.<br /><br />In February 2008, I got a new job that was closer to home and decided to start riding the ol' bike to work again. The second time out I wrecked, cracking a helmet and tragically bending the frame on the Nishiki. That event was similar to the theft of your mountain bike.<br /><br />The plan was to get myself a new bike for my birthday in the fall (the Nishiki was still rideable, but looked dangerous), but before that happened I acquired the first of several older bikes ranging in age from 15 to 43 years old. I will be running time trials Sunday on a 1973 Schwinn Varsity. How cool is that?Doohickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088639153697449691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-35416942662464155802009-05-14T11:06:00.000-07:002009-05-14T11:06:00.000-07:00Enjoy the 15 seconds of fame we can give you : )
