........I'm a car nut who likes older American cars dearly. I'm 56, and as a kid growing up in Brooklyn N.Y. I rode bikes all day every day. At 14 I moved to SoCal and for some reason my passion for bike riding completely stalled. Maybe I was mentally preparing for my drivers license which was coming pretty soon. Anyway, a couple yrs ago I decided to by a cheapie 1 speed Beach Cruiser for exercise. It sat for MONTHS. Then a friend got a bike and we now find ourselves at any one of several beach paths almost every weekend. We ride an hour or so, eat lunch and ride some more. I'm LOVING it. Some of the headwinds can be pretty tough on me, so I bought this 5 speed Cruiser from a friend. He swears his wife bought it new in 69. I call bull. What do you guys think? Thank you
