Nice!
My father wasn't a cyclist, but as a kid, he desperately wanted a Schwinn and saw them as the best you could get. So the first bike he bought for me, when I was four, was a Schwinn.
And he taught me how to ride, at the age of four. Maybe that's why I love it so much. He had left our home soon before teaching me, which hurt a lot, so the riding lessons are a strong memory.
