New Bike

Yesterday I bought a new bike at my local bike store. It's a Schwinn. If you're my age, you'll remember when Schwinn was THE name in bikes. About once every ten years I've bought a new bike. One of my first was a Schwinn Sting-Ray. The new Sting-Ray certainly looks different than the one I had in the 70's.

I had thought about buying a Gary Fisher bike, but since they change models in the middle of the summer, that model won't be available until the end of August. So, who's the smart marketing guy at that company who thought people would prefer to wait until the END of the summer to get a new bike. I'll bet he thought new coke was a pretty good idea too.
