Midnight Bike Ride in '90-ish. Only other old bike there, was a stingray.
The guy (from Buck's Bikes) saw mine, and proclaimed we *must* ride together!
First time riding non-flat surface, discovered brakes were fossilized (D'oh!),
squealing down a slight hill at 3am. I'm *standing* on the pedals trying to
slow down, trying not to scream in quiet neighborhood. Leveled-out, finally.
Next day, off to University Schwinn. Baby needed new shoes.
