my son had a friend over to study for final exams and i took this opportunity to do something i adore, i took a bike ride. no not on these
bikes (i wish) but i have an affinity for them, and for time on my bike. i'm more old fashioned, i love
bikes with big baskets on them and with more of a vintage feel. i have a friend who would frequent the local landfill and put together
bikes from throw away parts and made me a vintage schwinn that i had forever. it was worn looking, teal blue and fabulous. when i saw this line of
bikes, thanks to
la porte rouge's blog, my jaw dropped. the big bucket in the back, the robin's egg powdery blue color, the retro/european feel to them, i was instantly in love.
with a european model in mind,
madsen bikes put the bucket on the back for a natural feel and balance, knowing your precious cargo is secure.
madsen bikes motto suggests "a bicycle should do more." tested for up to 600 pounds, the
madsen is burly as it is elegant. they list an array of retailers in case you're seriously interested. these
bikes aren't cheap to buy, but think of them lasting a lifetime & more! what would you put in your
bike bucket? mine would probably hold, a bottle of wine, bread, cheese, beach towels, magazines and a plastic bag to bring shells home from the beach. enjoy!
