i love my new bike !

I bought my enormous new " A-Team" van to do the markets...and it is fantastic for that , I've got soooooo much room in there its great. but trying to park the thing? in the inner city! argggh

so I spoilt myself and bought a cool retro bike so I can ride down to the shop and the post office because i can't ever find a park down there that i can get the van into. And i think this is a good push for me to get out of the car and exercise and be green-er.So the bike is a blue schwinn and i have now put a wicker basket on the front, with the idea that the basket will be full (?) or packaged up etsy sales that i will be riding down to the post office to send..what do they say dream it and it will happen..., this photo shows my teenage daughter borrowing it and what sort of mother am i letting her ride it without a helmet! do we have a style over safety issue...? well maybe just for the photo....
