A great thing has happened...

Close your eyes and imagin your vehicular transporter needing no fuel. Imagine being vehicularly transported places and being able to hear the birds chirp, and cats scratching at lamp posts. Okay now open your eyes. What kind of vehicular transport were you thinking of? No its not some wacky electric car costing thirty grand. No what i am speaking of is a Schwinn "Sprint" bicycle circa 1974. Now on august the thirtinth my dear brother's Logan and Taylor were at the local Deseret Industries when what should catch their eye but a lovely teal blue bicycle. Now they just had to have it, there was no desicion spoken out loud. They just carried it right to the cashier and handed over the money. After fixing any imperfections with wd-40 the bike ran like it was right out of the vietnamese sweatshop that it was fabricated in. Logan has yet to ride the bicycle any real distance, but Taylor has proven himself by riding all the way to the post office, easily a 25 mile journey though i do not know the exact distance. Some would question Logan's true motives in this purchase, why buy a bike that you are not going to ride? Perhaps just for the oportunity to say you own it. Who knows...but what i do know is that the 1974 Schwinn Sprint was by far the most beutiful bicycle ever made and i would defy anyone who says diferantly....
