National Bike Month & Mission: Put Together

So apparently May is National Bike Month.  Which is especially cool because I just bought a bike!  We were in my old college town this last weekend visiting my grandma and my old church, when we spotted this:

Sears Floral Top; Thrifted Skirt ($4); So Flats ($9); Bike via Garage Sale ($50)

I am super excited!  It's hard to find a nice bike that fits me properly and is affordable.  This one was made in the early 50s and is in great shape with a new seat and tires.

This is when my little brother said "work it!"

My husband is all excited to fix it up for me.  It rides just fine now, but we're going to paint it and make it look pretty. :-)  I also got a cute basket and a bell for it.

Today also starts the month long Mission: Put Together!  All you need to participate is a flickr account, so hop on over and check it out!  I'll be posting my looks every day, starting with this one.  This week's challenge is "color".

Happy May! :-)

This bike is kitty approved.
