banana seat bike
This is my mom's bike from the 1970's isn't it perfect? My grandparents found it tucked away in their garage and it still had air in the tires! It's a miracle bike, really it is. It still rides like a dream, the only downside is the breaks are a little slow on the uptake, but it's 40 years old so I'd say it's doing pretty good! When I ride it I feel like I've gone back in time. My one question for modern bike manufacturers is why did you stop making banana seats? They are 10 times more comfortable than normal bike seats, I just don't understand it!
