New "retro" bike

I have been looking for a bike to ride around my neighborhood. This is such a great neighborhood for bike riding. My bank, the grocery store, my job, the pharmacy, even my dentist is located nearby. So I was browsing the goodwill and spotted froggy. I think froggy is either a schwinn breeze or a schwinn racer. She was most likely made between 1970 to 1973. So like me she is vintage lol. I think I am a bit more vintage than she is.
Froggy is a 5 speed cruiser. I named her froggy as she is green. I like her sparkling green handle bars. I took the bike to a bike shop and they said she is a great bike. I thought they might have to do a tune up but all they did was pump up her tires and she was good to go.

I am planning on buying a basket and I even found (but have yet to buy) a green frog shaped horn. Lol how appropriate. I rode around the neighborhood and had forgotten how great it is to just breeze along. I felt like a kid again.

whoo hoo!
