This is my early birthday gift to me! It is my almost mid-life crisis. It is an Electra Hawaii Custom 3 - a cruiser! I have wanted one of these for almost 8 years now. My sister Lou bought one around 7 or 8 years ago when she lived in Boise, Idaho. I was visiting and she let me take a ride and I was SOLD! However, I had no money so it took me awhile to gather the correct funds and to find the perfect bike (read here: Green). All the cosmos aligned for me on Saturday when I went to Sunshine Sports and talked with Zach about cruisers. This baby wasn't out on the floor but he showed me a picture of it and told me he had it in back and that if I returned on Monday around 4pm he would have it built so I could look at it in person. I was there by 4:20.
Here's another view:
It has three speeds, and coaster brakes, and a basket for my knitting, and a big seat for my big seat! It reminds me of the bicycle I had when I was a little girl, but that had only one speed and no basket (and no knitting). I've totally been enjoying riding it around on the smallest of errands last night and today! It's fantastic! I think the bell really says it all:
Yeah! ;0)

I love, love, love your new bike! Maybe I'll see you out on it on the Coastal Trail, when the rain stops. That basket looks perfect for holding a few food items from New Segaya and a little knitting.
