<p>A new bike, a moderately young rider... it's fun. Nothing like smelling fresh blossoms, listening to birds chirping, getting a work out, all this on the way to work! Life is good when you do good for yourself and the planet (-;</p>

It's about a 60's model and that makes my number over 100! I got this bike in college. One night in the 80's, a friend came over ant took it entirely apart down to the ball bearings.

<p>Recently, a friend who likes to restore clarinets asked me if he could polish it. He did the same thing. Took all the components off and buffed them. Then, I took it to the LBS (local bike shop) and they wrapped the bars with cork tape, put on bar-end shifters and replaced the derailleurs. </p>

<p>My bike is a Schwinn Le Tour, 25 years old. I'm a little older than it. Work is only 4 miles away so I ride the bike to work 3 days a week. I take the car the other days mainly because I pick up groceries on the way home. Gas can hit five dollars a gallon and it just means I'll take the bike 4 days a week.</p>
<p>P.S. By "a little" I mean a couple decades.</p>
