Several years ago, I bought a bicycle, hoping to ride it for a little exercise. It was a standard, upright bicycle, with six gears and handbrakes. I can't get comfortable on the thing, my legs are too long to sit back, and the handlebars are too far away to sit upright. I basically feel like I'm taking my life into my own hands every time I get on this bike. I used to spend hours riding around my home town on a Schwinn Manta Ray (24") I borrowed from my neighbor, the bike i question looks like it would be just as comfortable, with the added bonus of having a coaster brake. I'd like to get this bike, does anyone know of a similar package, maybe even with a higher sissy bar with a padded headrest, a springer front end, and a rack I can use to transport small quantities of snacks/liquor back to my abode?

Whatever happened to bikes us clumsy kids could ride?
Break down and buy one of these and you'll cruise like a boss:
Can I get it with a banana seat, coaster brake, high sissy bar (w/headrest), and ape-hanger handle bars? A three speed nut-cracker shifter would seal the deal.
This English made Raleigh folders ofter can be found on Craig's list or better yet a garage sale for next to nothing. They will sell for 600-800 dollars in the portland, Oregon market. I got a green one for sisty once and overhauled the hub and put a Brooks leather saddle on it (150.00) and sold it for 750.00 five years ago in PDX. It was in new condition.

Hideous! I'd run the thing into the first available tree, on purpose or not! :) Why can't I buy a bike where I'm not sitting 7 feet in the air directly over the peddles and hunched over the handlebars like some circus freak?
