If I find a Kermit the Frog bike helmet, you gotta wear it.

Kind of the "mag wheels" thing for bikes. Something that shines, and rotates. Activates the racoon thing in everyone.

I will. It's entirely possible that it will improve my looks

Those old Schwinn's are cool! I had a yellow Continental and a baby blue women's Super Sport.

Before I entered my first triathlon (sponsored by Pepsi, before Coors Light got into it), I needed a bike.
It had been a while since my Free Spirit 10-speed, so I asked a guy in my battalion to "get me a bike, a 10-speed?"
He came back 3 days later with a red Varsity, rusted pretzel chain. "Ten bucks."
I rode that thing in the triathlon 2 years in a row.

I'll always wonder where he stole it from.
