I have been wanting a new bike and I have been looking at the Electra bikes for while now…
My biking needs are about comfort and ease. There are no hills here and until all the kids are riding by themselves or nealy we won’t be doing much rough terrain and honestly we would have to go out of our way to find that…
I love to bike and I haven’t been biking in a long time… the bike I bought before Xavier was born wasn’t a Zellers bike but wasn’t the best quality either and by the end of a ride I would always be sore… my back from bending over, my neck from looking up and well… my bottom doesn’t like the seat…
I also look the look of the Electra bikes… they are just gorgeous…
the prices though… not as much…
So I have been looking more and more for what bike I would like and looking once in a while on Kijiji for the chance that I might find one there… yesterday I got lucky… Someone was listing a nearly new Electra Cruiser… only used a few times…
I just knew that I had to have it…
My mom and Simon picked it up on the way back from Montreal today and I am in love!!!
It is such an amazing ride… Xavier and went for a ride after supper… I would really love to make it something that we do on a regular basis…
The Electra Blanc et Noir….
I love the detail…
and the pretty seat…
It is such a classic looking bike… now all I need is a basket…
I love the Electra bikes too, but am turned off by the price tag as well. For some reason I never even thought to look on the classified sites. I just went and did a quick search and found four of them for sale! Maybe a little later this summer I’ll buy myself a bike too. 😉
In BC there seems to be many dealers so it doesn’t surprise me that you would have quite a few for sale used… I saw many while I was googling…
In Quebec there used to be about a dozen dealers a few years ago but now there are only 2-3 that I have found…. So I found it very lucky to find one!
Cool bike! That’s so rad Paxye!
That bike is just sooooooooo gorgeous!
That is so cool. Glad you got a ‘deal’ in a way. Better than full price! It’s a very snazzy looking bike. I rode cruiser’s while growing up in very flat Florida but now with the hills we have around here – I need a mountain bike and better knees! They are killer going up but so much fun going down.
Since I haven’t heard from you confirming your address – I’m going to go ahead and mail them to the same address as you gave me from the old Etsy order. Hope they get to you!!!!!

Blanche… I hadn’t noticed the last message but I had sent you an e-mail back on the 5th… same address, so no problem!
We all went for a ride last night and did a few small hills with no problem… this cruiser has three speeds so though I don’t think I could climb the rockies… I don’t think I will have any problems here… lol
