I found this bike a few weeks ago inside a bar on Queen St West. It was part of a promotion for "Cruiser an all day pale ale" that involved giving away bikes like this one. Pretty cool isn't it? I didn't win.
A few years ago (actually more than a few), Lois bought a pink Schwinn like this. It was great to ride on the beach, but took a good deal of human power having no gears to help negotiate hill country.
Cruiser bikes have become very popular. I don't understand why, unless you use them on a perfectly flat place. I need the gears to help me get up hills. (What I REALLY want is an electric-assisted bike.)
That bike is fantastic. I'd love to win it.
ReplyDeleteAh, man! Wish I'd been there. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like Pat, it is very meticulous.
ReplyDeleteGood Saturday ;)
It is beautiful, just my kind of style too. I'm sorry you didn't win, and I hope the person that did is going to ride it a lot!
ReplyDeletevintage but fantastic
ReplyDeleteA very nice bike!
ReplyDeleteCute bike! I like the style of it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, maybe a bit heavy...
ReplyDeleteI agree with VP, I'd need a bit of electrical help for this beauty!

Trip was great, but being without internet made me miss you and all my friends!
Very slick and streamlined!
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't win, RedPat! It looks like reliable transportation.
ReplyDeleteNice looking bike Pat, I'm not sure why but I haven't ridden a bike for years, I really should get back to it :)
