Vacation Day 5 - Electra Cruiser

At home 

I have Wal-Mart bike 

that we bought a couple years ago.

I can never get the pink Wal-Mart bike to shift gears right.

We go camping and everyone rides bikes, 

while,

I end-up pushing mine around.

Don't you feel sorry for me? 

Ha ha!

So after riding my rented Jamis bicycle at the campground,

and totally falling in love with it,

and then finding this 

comparable beauty 

at 

Mike's Bike Store in Charleston

(we were just eating breakfast next door at Sweetwater Cafe'),

and finding out this Perl Mint Beauty 

was on SALE,

(and I can not pass up a sale!),

and listening to Mr. MAE bug me 

for quite some time to get me new bike

(really, he has been!),

I bought it!

Anyhow, when we get home, 

Mr. MAE says he will donate my pink shifty bike to Cops for Kids.

The men at the jail will fix my old Pink Wal-Mart bike and donate it to charity for Christmas.

Not that there is anything wrong with Wal-Mart bikes.  

Mine just needed some TLC and an owner who knows how to shift.

So,

Welcome to the family little Electra Cruiser - Pearl Mint.

One Speed!

No Shifting!

Now, I can ride along in my very own Beach Cruiser 

with the rest of the family 

(instead of pushing it 

-- in fact -- 

let the records show -- that I am now faster than Mr. MAE)!
