My Tricycle.. vista

 

 I have been watching this tricycle for over 6 months.. everytime I see it I would try to talk my husband into buying it for me.. and he would ask me questions like, " Are you really going to ride this thing around with ALL the hills?" Or " where will you put the baby?"

So we would leave this treasure behind..

IT would sit in the back of Shinola next to a pile of wood for many months.. lonely as ever..

You see this bike had a purpose once.. It was made for a hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, for the delivery man to bring the guest food, the paper, or whatever they needed.. It was a very useful  bike and had many wonderful days seeing so many new faces and then the era of bikes slowed down and it was sold to a man who place it in the yard where is sat for a long long time..

I finally talked my husband into letting me purchase this sweet tricycle.. VISTA.. 

She has become part of the Shoe home.. over the next few weeks we will find her a good doctor to fix her up and get her running as if she were brand new.. and add a baby sit to the back and off we go.. going to work and to the store...

This bike will never be lonely again..
