He's a Schwinner

Arts - Culture

Remember banana bikes? The oversized seats, the colorful prints, the wide handle bars. A Virginia man found one of the first bikes made with a banana seat at his corner bike shop. Tom Mault bought the rare 1963 Sing-Ray for $350. Now he's getting offers of $100,000 for the Schwinn. Mault says he started collecting bicycles because his parents couldn't afford to buy him one as a child.
