The nurse gave me a biking lecture while she picked the imbedded gravel from my knees. Still loved the bike. <br /><br />I ended up giving it to my niece, who sold it. I still think of that Schwinn sometimes. But my Masi Strada is a really pretty ride.Hnossanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3652957.post-62479723400867770192021-04-11T19:27:30.950-07:002021-04-11T19:27:30.950-07:00I totally get it.

I got a new bike with 21 speeds at Madison's Bikorama sometime in the late 90s, and I've never been as happy with it. Was it a great bike? I don't know, but it was my bike, familiar and comfortable.Victor Tabbycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550868924719353914noreply@blogger.com
