From: Take a deep breath, and ask--What would Sheldon do?
Bikes: Nishiki Nut! International, Pro, Olympic 12, Sport mixte, and others too numerous to mention.
I had a young man shout something at me this morning as I flew by him on my Nishiki Prestige...I thought I heard "Go faster"...
I was in a road construction area, and was paying more attention to the passing cars than the young man. He ran up to me to catch me at the stoplight, and said "That's a really cool old bike. I'll bet it goes really fast, with those skinny tyres, and it's got neat handlebars, too". I laughed and told him that this was a great old bike, and that he should try to find one for himself when he was a bit older.
I would guess he was perhaps 12 or 13 years old. If I see him again, I will ask him perhaps if he'd like one to ride.
