Awesome Gizmo!!  Now hunt around and find her a nice wicker (real wicker) basket for the front, for groceries and whatnot. 

Wish I lived in an area where I could use something like that!

Looks brand new!!! 

Would really build up her legs in that area.  Our best friends live in Laguna Nigel!

I'm so excited to give it to her, but I have to wait until the 19th. That's so hard!

She's such a hoot. She's decided to have her birthday party at Chuck-e-cheese because then the grandkids can run around like nuts, and she can be a big kid too! I'm thinking of bringing the bike there and finding a way to surprise her with it. I still need to get the new hand brake put on and have the gears looked at, but a friend said they'd work on it for me!

Have a great time!!!!

Thanks for posting itmages of your cool gift !

Now you can get her some pants ("Capri" / "pedal-pushers") & some cat-eyed sunglasses & set her loose on Alki (beach) !

[Gizmo]

Lol! Nice pic KC! I'll have to get those pants and glasses regjoe, and I'll be sure to tell you all about how the surprise goes seas! I just hope I can wait another week+.

Hello! Just thought you'd all like to know that mom loved the bike. We gave it to her after spending about four hours in Chuck-e-cheese. She jumped right on it and rode all around the parking lot, sounding the bell the whole way. She was grinning from ear to ear and pretty soon we were loading the kids in the basket and she was giving them rides. It was great.

There is nothing better than seeing a grandma peddling around a parking lot on a giant trike with a basketful of grandchildren!

Gizmo, came across this site and thought of your mom.  There are two other vintage related posts with links at the bottom......and lots of 'women on bikes' fun and interesting stuff.  Don't know how old your mom is, but boy did these bring back memories for me.  

Tell her I wish her 'Happy Cycling' as well as Happy Birthday!
