Having attended college in Bloomington a million years ago, I became accustomed to biking anywhere and everywhere I needed to go. My ride was a Nishiki mixte frame which my father purchased for me when I graduated High School. Fitted out with baskets, racks, panniers I rode it for years when I didn't even have a car, loading it up with groceries, shopping, books etc. It followed me to graduate school in Memphis TN, where it was stolen and is probably giving some unfortunate person a means of transportation. Over the years, that particular bike has given me a love for bikes, I have owned many after that and as an Art Teacher in a small town, kids love to see me coming to school on my bright beach cruiser. Just recently, I decided to search for a bike like my original Nishiki, I became the proud owner of a vintage Raleigh Sprite with the same frame style. The guys at BGI North helped me put it together, tune it up and put some accessories on it. It is not a flashy bike, but riding it takes me back thirty years. Thanks Guys!
