Gigi by Electra Bike
June 18, 2008
Inspired by this post, I began my own search for my ultimate dream bike. I found Gigi by Electra Bike: a 3-speed creamy blue bike with a rack and basket.
Since my beloved '96 Honda Civic was totalled last November (rear-ended by a Lexus which was rear ended by a Ford Discovery) , I've been walking a lot and bus-ing it almost everywhere. Now, Gigi would make the ultimate replacement, at least for my in-town errands.

Gahhh! I totally have an Electra. I LURVE it.
I got Madeline, my Electra Townie 21-speed, gosh, almost two years ago. And it's perfect for around town. I haven't had the chance to ride it much in Portland, because now I'm living in a pretty congested area, but it's awesome for leisure riding and riding in places where there's not much traffic (i.e., Monmouth, where I went to college...great for riding around campus).
I hope you get yours and LOVE IT, too!! Mine has a black basket and rack on the back, and a fender on the front. If you get a basket, be careful though! My bike tipped over once, and the basket-attachment part broke, so one side of it's being held on with zip ties. Haha.
Oh, that is so cute. I have an oldish bike that I never use, because I live too far away from everything that I do, but it's definitely not as cute as that. So adorable!
