A little prohibitive perhaps. There must be more obtainable versions out there... Where did all these glamourous looking cyclists get their lovelies?
I dont know where they got theirs, but I am picking up MY little lovely from the cycle shop over the road from work today!! Yep, Boy person and I spied some fabulous Schwinn Cruisers a while ago and set about selling our old crappy 'modern' looking bikes in order to replace them with these.
Here's my 'Cream' Schwinn:
She will look even lovlier when the man has fitted her little cane basket on the front....
And here is the Boy Persons Schwinn, named (rather aptly I think) 'Willy'....
Of course, it does not go un noticed that all those gorgeous persons above are not wearing the dreaded old Australian enforced Bicyce Helmet. However, I have discovered that there are better options out there, so next on the list is one of these, or something similar at least....
Oh, and of course, apart from all the looking cool and chicness of it all, our main reason for purchasing these was to help reduce the size of our nasty ole carbon footprint. Honest!

I'll take a Gucci thanks. VIN brings up the bike subject periodically, but one of my main issues is of course those dorky helmets. Good luck with finding something stylie. There's definately a gap in the market. Great post. xx
