Right Place at the right time
I work in the Information Technology field by day and mow yards with my teenage sons during the evening and weekends. One of our clients told me she needed to get rid of a metal shed in her back yard, and I could have all the contents if I would clean out the shed.
In the shed, among several lawn mowers and other items, were two bicycles - a men's 3-speed Schwinn Collegiate (yellow) and a men's Otasco Flying-O (brown). Both are in excellent condition and I have them tuned up and have been riding them. I am about to ride the Flying-O out to a remote area now and view the new moon and Jupiter.
Finding these bikes has completely renewed my interest in bicycling. I put new tubes and tires on the Schwinn and I'm putting new tubes and tires in my Bridgestone 300 this weekend, and plan to begin riding the 300 to work next week.
I love the forums on bikeforums.net - a ton of useful information and lots of interesting folks.
