La familia es cada vez mayor!!!



Introducing...a SWEET Green 1970's Schwinn Speedster to the WE MovemenT Family!!!

Hopefully this will be a replacement for the Huffy "Red Bandit" that was stolen from us in the downtown area!

I'm thinking of naming this one the "Green Speedster", "Big Green", "Green Cruiser", etc. What do ya'll think? Angie Futorama help me out here...and enjoy the bike!

Ya can't keep Bike People down lasses and laddies! WE MovemenT don't stop.

PS - Muchas Gracias Adrienne...you're the ultimate SWEETIE!

Still Peddling,
JERI

This is how I Roll!


The Kid's Bike

Introduced just after the First World War by several manufacturers, such as Mead, Sears Roebuck, and Montgomery Ward, to revitalize the bike industry (Schwinn made its big splash slightly later), these designs, now called "classic", featured automobile and motorcyle elements to appeal to kids who, presumably, would rather have a motor. If ever a bike needed a motor, this was it. These bikes evolved into the most glamorous, fabulous, ostentatious, heavy designs ever. It is unbelievable today that 14-year-old kids could do the tricks that we did on these 65 pound machines! They were built into the middle '50s, by which time they had taken on design elements of jet aircraft and even rockets. By the '60s, they were becoming leaner and simpler.

GET SOME!
