My New Ride…

 

with two wheels!

I am so excited to finally own a vintage-style Schwinn cruiser to ride about the streets of NOLA.

Take a look at this beaut.

Since moving back to NOLA, I have wanted one to ride about town for exercise or for entertainment (you know, from bar to bar).

My cruiser is navy with red accents (tres Americana).

I added a drink holder to the handlebars and have two other accessories on order.

A basket (to hold groceries when I make trips to Zara’s).

A bell.

Now, I also need one of these for my iPhone.

My bike rides that past three days have been so fun.

Cruise, y’all!

  3. I am so jealous. My dream is to be able to ride my cute bike (I got it for Mother's Day 3 years ago)to the grocery store or the local eatery. I live within a short distance of several places like that but there is no sidewalk or bike lane next to the road to take me there. I am afraid to get out on the road with my bike, as the drivers around here are pretty scary and there are only ditches and soft shoulders on either side of the road. I love your bike. Happy pedaling!!!!! :-)

  7. Now that is how you enjoy summer! I love your new bike. I can only imagine how fun that must be. I couldn't take a bike like that around my town. There isn't a safe place to ride.....too many cars.
