Personally I am fantasizing about the even warmer weather, of breezy summer dresses and shoes being pulled out of their boxes and given new life. One thing I don’t have and will be shopping for this spring is a bicycle, yes a shiny new vintage inspired bike is what I am craving. Why not authentic vintage?

I won’t mind at all.Some sites I’ve been browsing that have a really great selection of bikes for girls:
