griffin arellano takes his low rider for a maiden spring cruise on unm campus

"i just convinced my girlfriend to bring me this bike.  she's from taos, and she won it in an auction back when she was 7 or 8.  ....i've never had a car or anything like that.  a low rider is as close as i'll come.  you know the secret?  this is my secret.  just envision it, and you will receive."

--griffin arellano, freshman @ unm from fort collins, co.

arellano doesn't know the bike's exact origins, but the welds suggest DIYconstruction

hey, y'all, it's spring! go outside and ride your bike!
