Wind in my hair and bugs in my teeth

I bought a Schwinn Retro Coaster Bike at Target last week. When I saw it, I knew we were made for each other.

I've been cruising down the dirt roads with a goofy grin on my face feeling the wind on my face and in my hair, and I'm taken back forty+ years. I had a Schwinn then too. I still have it, only it needs a major overhaul. I may fix it up for Darcie if it's not a major money pit!

When I go to the bike shop to look at carriers for my car, I'll ask how much it'll cost to restore my old one. In the meantime, I'm having a ball!

I love it! I love the mix of red and white. I'm glad you're having fun with it. Debiie, it's a sweet ride...

Cute photo of the cat on the seat. Our family has recently taken up biking, too. It really is fun to relive those childhood memories, bugs and all! Did you ever run over maypops?

Hi Laura! I've never seen a maypop growing on the side of the road down here, but we do have them on the edges of our fields. My parents and I were talking about them when I was home last. They call them apricots up in Tennessee. We also call them Passion Flowers. I'm not crazy about eating the fruit, but the flowers are beautiful!

Yes, Amanda, let's definitely go ride the Jekyll trails this fall!
