I had been looking for a bike to get around my local city and managed to snag a Huffy cruiser for $50. It is in decent shape with only some superficial rust on the pedals. This will be a big learning experience for me as I haven't ridden a bike for nine years. I'll both learn how to use a bike to run errands and how to do some of my own maintenance. Maybe even customize it a bit by adding a frame lock and a 3 speed gear hub. I guess we shall see how far I get in this learning and fitness quest.

Beautiful bike!

I've just been re-watching the Trevor Jacobs stuff and all I can say is that if you're planning to fly this bike somewhere remote and the jump off with a parachute, please upload footage!

( When he bought the plane he crashed for a YouTube stunt, he told them he had "big plans" for the plane )
