The Rally Rounders (AKA The Outlaws) – The Bike Beat, Pt. 1, 1964

In my 1970's elementary school, Raleigh were known as the expensive foreign bikes. I had the solid Schwinn Stingray with dirt tires for Nevada.

Cheap ass America screwed up by not making separate bike paths. I cannot stand sharing roads with cars.
In Germany & Belgium, you can travel all over on bikes and not be close to cars.

Note, if you want to die, try riding a bicycle on some of the British country roads.

That is good stuff - that band was into The Dukes of Strat-O-sphear.

‘Memba when Andy — on Twitter — said that Dubya was behind 9/11 (“Heh, dear me lads. Just taking the piss.”) and very many of us roasted his ass for it?

Artistic geniuses, amirite?

🙄

What’s this article from ‘22?

At least he wasn’t a “covid truther.”

(Looks around nervously.)

@Bix When I was in elementary school (and even high school) Schwinn was only for the 'rich kids', the rest of us had Huffy or Western Flyer (or Sears, which I think were also called Free Spirit?)

@codeWhisperer
"Free Spirit," thanks for sparking my memory.

@Bix

That nay be true but at least the trees look like dragons…

@Bix I always cringe when I see "marked" bike lanes integrated main streets and roads. Drivers fucking ignore them and drive in and over them. How many bike riders have been killed that way?
