Those bikes were ridden cross country "back in the day", especially during the bicentennial summer of 1976. Right now in the NYC area finding a deal on a used bike isn't easy, especially since garage sales out in the 'burbs ain't happening. Bikes sell within a few hours. The market had been a little slow the past few years. Not now, though. Nice ride up to the Bear Mountain Bridge. If you get a chance, check out the North County and South County bike trails on the other side of the Hudson. Flat old rail trails, and they get nicer as you go north.
