There Was A Time When:
Bicycles came with chainguards
Bicycles came with kickstands
Bicycles came with racks and baskets
Bicycles came with a comfortable seat
Bicycles came with a comfortable upright riding position
Bicycles came with one speed
Bicycles came with three speeds and could be shifted while stopped
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be:
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Expensive
Cycling Doesn't Have To Be Uncomfortable
Cycling CAN be done in street clothes!

1965 Schwinn Varsity
1965 Schwinn Varsity This is a 1965 Schwinn Varsity that I restored. It was my grandfathers and it was left in a shed for about 20+ years and it was really rusted when I got it. The tires & tubes were shot, fenders were rusty, rims were rusty, handlebars were rusty, and it was dirty. It was just about ready to get thrown out but I saved it. I worked all summer and fixed it up. This is what it looks like now with fenders off of an old huffy from the 50~s. I had the original fenders all shined up but I liked these better. I have also recently added an old cable drive analog speedometer, new tires + tubes, and new cables. This bike never has let me down in anyway and it is a excellent bike. I treat it the way i would want to be treated if I was a bike.
