How neat . My knees won't do it anymore but I use to love to ride when I was a kid.

Love your bike!! I could never ride a boys bike. The bar freaked me out. Still ride mine and love it as I hate to exercise and riding my bike is a fun way. Your bike reminds me of the one I had as a child :)

I think I can fit at least enough for a top :lol: :lol: Just gotta figure where to put the sewing machine :shock:

Hey, remember you could always pull a wagon like they did in 'Our Gang'!
Looks like a winner in every aspect, right color - RIGHT HEIGHT - right SEAT. Enjoy it a lot.

That is so neat. Maybe a patchwork seat cushion you can take off? :-)

What a lovely present.

But I sure hate to rain on your parade (of one rider) but
you really have to get a helmet. You could look for one
that matches the color of your bike.

Enjoy!!

I hadn't ridden in years, and it is true, you never forget how :shock: I was up and riding around the yard on the first try. Can't wait to see what you get!

Ninnie, you have to have one of the horns with the bulb part so you can honk as you go by! Very nice bike you got there. I learned on a boys bike & that's all I was ever able to ride. I couldn't keep on the seat of a girls bike......maybe it's all in my mind. LOL.
