Beep Beep!

For quite some time, I have been looking for a bike because I wanted something vintage but still in good shape. I was starting to get restless because I know that all I do is sit in a cubicle all day and get no real exercise. A lot of my friends have been finding things on Craigslist, so I thought, "Why not?" Right away I saw a posting for an adorable bike in my area and thought it couldn't hurt to go have a look at it. After looking up the address, I realized it was a shop right across the street from me, and they had a whole stock of similar vintage bikes! It is owned by a really nice man who moved here from France. He had such a great variety of vintage bikes and offered to fix anything for me that I had trouble with even after purchasing. This is one of the things I love about where I live—shops owned by local people who are genuine and nice and will chat with you, so by the time you check out you feel like you have made a new friend. I wish there were more of those still! But anyway, pictures!

And just wanted to add—I took it out for a ride today and this song was on my mind the whole time! (You have to listen to the end). I probably should invest in a bell soon ;)
