Oldschool and not caring

We have a 20mi bike path in our area that is great riding and sometimes interesting to see the bikes that are being ridden. Today at the end of my ride I was laid out on the plush grass under a shade tree waiting for the "buzz" to wear off so I could drive. Across the parking lot from me were 6 or 7 riders (mostly couples) in their late 30's to 40 or so. I did not expect to see older bikes. They were all oldschool "bikeboom" rides out of the 70's and 80's. There was a Batavus, Fuji and the rest that I could see from my position were Schwinns (sorry, no Varsities). Couldnt see the other 2 or 3 in the back of the vehicles. They were a trendy enough looking bunch that it caught me off guard to see these bikes....like they have been saving them from their university days (luggage racks and all). No kidding like they just pulled them off the hooks in the garage!
