I hope to get hooked on biking enough to want a nicer bike in a year or two. Maybe even later this summer, I don't know. I know this isn't a performance bike. But it has sentimental attachment to me. If I buy a new one now, I wouldn't get a road bike. I would want something geared for comfort. I always had wished I'd bought a traditional cruiser bike back then, as I wasn't very comfortable with the drop down handlebars. But that style was popular at the time and I went with the trend.

I figure if I start out with this bike, I can decide- do I want my next bike to be a comfort bike? Or will I decide a road bike is better for me. If I buy now, it's a comfort bike, and I may soon regret that decision.

I figure it'll be nice having my old bike in riding condition no matter what path I take
