I remember one year I got Stingray "type" (not actual Schwinn) 20" bicycles, with the high handlbars and the banana seat.... No speeds, and only a coaster brake, but that is exactly what I wanted. I think the bike I had before that one actually had solid tires, so I was movin' on up if you know what I mean. It was probably 1967. Eventually I replaced the "stock" seat with a red metal flake one, and put a real tall sissy bar on the back with a matching red metal flake diamond pad. (Probably can't call them sissy bars anymore. ) Right around that time I also got "Creepy Crawlers" with the famous "Thing-Maker." I would make spiders, snakes and other bugs and remember selling a few of the creepy crawlers to kids at school... I do remember that the school didn't like that and made me stop, squelching my early proprietorship aspirations! For those who don't know what a "Thing-Maker" is, or had one and want to remember, here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z8LbLdLcso |
