Sorry I didn't take photos of the historic event. I am a bike commuter and my wife and I try to ride on the weekends for a pleasure ride usually 30 to 50 miles. Well my youngest daughter has one of those repro Schwinns with 7 speeds and a basket up front (Wald) and the large double jobs (again Wald) in the back. I just scored a 62 Schwinn Tiger with the two speed hub and put a set of the medium Wald baskets in the back,so today we did a grocery run. It was great not to have to look for a parking spot. Just cruise up to the rack lock up and go. We got a few curious looks from some folks and one person ask how far we had to go. when I told him its only a mile he said "man thats a good idea and you look set up for it pretty well." I then told him he should try it. We live in a small town and its flat so why not. It was really fun and we took our time getting home hitting a couple garage sales. We didn't have anything that would spoil and it was as I said a hoot. I'll have to post some shots of the bikes next time we get them all loaded with groceries.
