Bike Shopping
Starr has a new bike this afternoon! All of a sudden she needed a bike and needed it now. I know the feeling of needing something in a hurry, but I don’t know if the best decisions are made when you give in to it…we will see. She’s been wanting a bike for several years and I didn’t want to spend the money. With her first paycheck for working full time this summer, she bought her own!
First we visited a friend of mine who is selling her bike. Nope, it wasn’t exactly what Starr had in mind. Then we visited a used bike store where we saw the cutest vintage red Schwinn similar to this:
It also cost $900. Yeah…no, it’s not that cute!
Two stores later, she finally found one that made her happy and rode it home.
Did you try the pawn shops? We bought MVP a great bike at a pawn shop in Fort Collins.
It’s a great town for bikes, for sure.

That is just the most darling bike!!!
It’s funny because in my dream last night I was walking through a sea of old fashioned bikes!
Your post is making me want to dig out my bike from the garage! Almost… kind of…
Some of my HAPPIEST times last year were on a bike. A tailbone injury coupled with shingles has prevented me from that this year and I SOOOOOOO miss it!!!! Congrats to STARR and many happy revolutions!!

Soo cute! I’m on the market for new bikes for the girls too. They want beach cruisers, naturally!
