Another Bike
I actually have four bikes. This is my 1961 Schwinn American, which is like a carnival ride. I spent a lot of time restoring this one. I love my bikes.

About Me
- sarah
- Gainesville, FL, United States
- I work as a writer and editor at the University of Florida. I write a radio program, "Gardening in a Minute," and create marketing and communications materials. I live in the town where I grew up, but have also lived in Holland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. My favorite things include enjoying Florida's waters as a swimmer, on a dock, or in motorboat, sailboat, kayak, or canoe; cooking; reading; traveling; and bicycling. I'm currently learning how to fish, garden (even though I write about gardening, I'm not the best in practice), and watch birds.

omg IM SO JEALOUS!!! My older sister had one just like it in pink and white when we were kids..i used to steal it from her. I just recently bought myself a bike, and toyed with the idea of buying one of the "boardwalk" bikes, the old vintage ones, but opted for a cheaper mountain bike...now Im thinking i made the wrong choice....she is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Hi Catherder,
Thanks! I bought this bike on eBay and spent a lot of time fixing it up with the help of a bike kitchen in L.A. and some bike-loving friends here in town. It didn't look half as nice when I got it a few years ago!
Just because you have one bike -- why not get another? I believe in different bikes for different moods.
