I've always loved these style bikes. I've never owned one. I went to a large indoor swap meet Sunday morning and ran into a good friends father who was set up as a vendor. I hadn't seen him in about 6 years so we were catching up. He had this little Western Flyer Buzz Bike sitting there and it...

Nice little turn out, Weather was good, Food was good, Riding was great and the People were even better.

To Whom It May Concern: August 17, 2009 As I am about to hit the middle ages at 51 years old, I have found certain things leSs important, then when I was 30. For instance; when you meet someone special, there is a bond made, sometimes positive, sometimes negative. It really depends...

The Amgen tour will be running in front of my apartment on Tuesday afternoon. Notices of street blockings on telephone poles went up last week. Does anyone know what number Lance Armstrong is?????? Hopefully I can get some good pictures and post them.:thumbsup:
