It was just like Pee Wee Herman's Big Adeventure, since this beach cruiser was all they had for me.  I haven't ridden a bike with pedal brakes in a long time, and totally forgot how to operate the darn thing.  Thank god I got the swing of things pretty fast, since there is a lot of maneuvering to be done in this town that has over 600,000 bikes (745,000 people!)  Jason was still stick for this one.
