Most of my bikes get compliments from time but I found this one in particular to be interesting. One day in the spring I locked my 68 Raleigh Super Course right outside the front door of a local coffee shop and went inside. The door was propped open and I’m in line at the counter just inside the door with my bike in full view from where I’m standing. I’m waiting my turn to order when 4 young guys who look to be in their early 20s exited and walked passed my bike. The first three didn’t notice at all but the last guy stopped and called out to his friends “Holy Moly! Look at this bike!” They didn’t pay him any attention and didn’t come back and look at it, but he stayed there lingering for a bit, just staring at it fondly as his friends walked on. Then he finally shuffled off to catch up with his buddies without another word. It may be just a Super Course but I thought that was pretty cool.
