New cruiser guy

62 years old. Bought a condo on the beach in Ponce Inlet, FL. Plan on retiring early next year and making a permanent move from the Atlanta area. I haven't ridden a bicycle since I started driving at 16. Recently pulled a lady's Sun cruiser from a dumpster. The only thing wrong was the seat was in bad shape. Greased up, cleaned up, new seat, and I was riding all over the lighthouse point area.
I've since gotten a freebee Schwinn Fleet men's cruiser (unknown year, but not vintage) from the inlaw's shed. It rides like a dream.
What a great way to try to get back in shape a little. The scenery is none too shabby either.

Glad that you got back on the bike. It's like they say, you'll never forget how to ride one. A lot of us have come back after a long hiatus. Congrats on your new/used bike and welcome to Bike forums!
