HorseFixer 2,012 #1 Posted August 22, 2009 The Doc told me to get some exersize and that really help Stroke Patients So MJ and I have been Riding Bikes at night after work. I got us a couple of Schwinn Beach Cruisers from WALLY WORLD a few weeks back, and have also been looking for other vintage bikes to restore and ride.

Sparky-(Admin) 19,439 #7 Posted August 23, 2009 I'm sure the Doctor will be telling me the same thing Duke so I went out and bought a bike last week. Been riding all weekend and I havent lost a pound yet . Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Ummm, any advice Doctor Duke ?? Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #8 Posted August 23, 2009 Mike I can't speak for Duke....but I'd sugest this. (1) Find the largest, longest hill in your hometown. (2) Ride to the bottom. (3) Shut off the bike. (4) Push bike back up the hill with the engine still shutoff. (5) Once at top of hill repeat process till desired weight loss is achieved. I'll bet you'll fit back into your 20 year old leathers in no time. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,114 #9 Posted August 23, 2009 Or leave that bike outside the garage at 5:45pm tomorrow. You'll get a lot of exercise running after me! Nice bike guys, now you all just need one of these: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Iron 1 #12 Posted August 24, 2009 Gee, Duke, that bike kinda reminds me of my old Huffy 26" bike from 1965 or so. The rear rack was like yours, stamped steel metal, and also had a "in the frame" headlight (top bar) that I took off (kept it of course). Chrome fenders rounded it out nicely. Too bad I didn't keep that one, only thing wrong with it when I sold it was handle bars were bent down (too many jumps with hard landing). That's typical of a horse collector, to get a red/white bike with fat tires. Take care Duke, the body comes first so it can work & play. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wh500special 2,053 #14 Posted August 24, 2009 So If Ya See Any Cheap Lemme know. Since you're such a tractor nut here's one for ya, Duke: The Best Name in Bikes Kidding aside, this line of bikes was apparently a pretty low-budget piece of junk despite the name that appears on the frame. The originals from the late 1800's are highly prized. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HorseFixer 2,012 #15 Posted August 24, 2009 Yikes! Steve had the Gang over and we all lost our cookies after seeing that bike! Stewy is like me he says there is only Red In His Shed!
