MY AUNT BOUGHT THE BIKE THROUGH THE OLD GROCERY STORE STAMP PROGRAM THAT RAN IN THE 60S--YOU GOT GREEN STAMPS AT STORES LIKE CHATHAM AND TOOK THEM TO A REDEMPTION CENTER TO GET STUFF LIKE LAMPS, BOOKS AND BIKES. (IF THIS DOESN~T SOUND FAMILIAR, ASK YOUR PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS OR ANYONE OVER THE AGE OF 50.) SHE RODE IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND IT HAD A FRONT HANDLEBAR BASKET THAT SHE USED WHEN SHE WOULD RIDE UP TO THE CORNER STORE TO GET MILK OR OTHER GOODIES
Did you know bicycles can actually be ridden in street clothes? How much is your bicycle worth? What is the history of your bike?
