Eugene, hi. I'm out in Oak Brook and riding a semi-restored 1975 Schwinn Continental. Hope you've found a great bike! If not, you check out the Electras if you're looking for a brand-new bike. http://www.electrabike.com - their Cruiser series bikes are beautiful and they're made in California. They have tons of available accessories - including, get this, a surfboard rack. I kid you not. Bicycles, Etc. is a local dealer located in Lisle and Naperville.

Ride on,

Dan
