The girls and I have been riding our bikes back and forth to the pool this week.
Today when we got to the pool and parked our bikes, I was greeted by this beauty:
This is THE BIKE I learned to ride on! Red and orange "Pinwheel" Murray with the banana seat and huge handlebars. It even has a personalized license plate on the back like mine did. I had to double check to make sure the license plate didn't say "Jamie." (I gave up early on ever finding a license plate that spelled my name correctly.) Mine didn't have the basket--only nerds had bicycle baskets. (I kind of wish my bike now had a basket for schlepping stuff to the pool.)Some poor kid must be visiting grandma and grandpa for the summer and is stuck riding this 30 year old bike to the pool. I want to steal it so I can ride it.

Boy, where did that bike come from? It really is a blast from the past.... You should be concerned you're not entering into the "Twilight Zone". OOooh, are you old enough to know those shows?
I can see you on your bike weaving back and forth across the sidewalk learning to ride. I know I have a picture. I've got to dig it out. Love ya, Mom
I had a candy apple red schwinn with a floral banana seat. I LOVED that bike. :)
