Sweet bike- I, too, rode a Suburban (mine was green) many, many miles across Illinois farm roads. It's nice to see some Schwinn love- I've been embarrassed to admit I still ride one! I love your description of opera singing! My brother and sister-in-law are opera singers and I could absolutely hear them as I read about your beautiful wife.

I remember so well the hours and steel wool spent in making that bike beautiful. I knew it was true love for Maria and also the bike, by your dedication and hard work in our cold garage that December! Love ya, your Mom, Wendy That is a sweet story Nick!

Thanks for reading the story and replying to it. @AJ, it's fun to see someone else familiar with Recycled Cycles and Ft. Collins—northern FC out by Laporte/Bellevue is still one of my favorite places to pedal! Thanks for the extra memories @The Flyin' Ute! I almost wrote about my first experience tagging along with you and your bros to Moab—I was a puny little 7th grader, and I had the time of my life! Haven't stopped pedaling since! In the end, though, I just had to write about Maria... @lynn e, that is Maria on the right (pedaling her newer Surly Cross Check!) and you're totally right, Sarah is pedaling Maria's gifted bicycle—talk about spreading the love! Can't wait for more guest posts and the eventual return of Fatty himself! Hi All! Thanks for reading the story and replying to it.

Romantic tale. Loved it. Is Sarah on Maria’s gifted bicycle or is the picture flipped and Maria is actually on the left?

Other readers should know, that I, The Flying Ute, introduced Nick to this blog several years ago, and that I, The Flying Ute, brought Nick to Moab with me and my brothers when he was still in Jr. High or so, and exposed him to the brilliant colorful sounds of Moab. I am glad that in some small way my bicycling zeal has helped produce such a wonderful convert that is in turn spreading the joy of pedaling around the world. Great job nephew Nick! and my Hello's to Maria as well. Keep up the great work! Uncle Mike Nick,

I love those old "classics." I have one, too, but I am old enough to be the original owner. I still ride it and work on it as time and funds allow. Thanks very much. Inspiring Story!
