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
