I was 29 in '78, so I was long gone from any Big Wheel stuff.
Wish there was such a thing when I was a kid..
I had a bike when I was 6 , I believe it was a 19 " and then when I was 8, I got a 26" Schwinn 3 speed .
Had lots of fun for several years on that bike.

A drag race with crazy spin-outs at the end.

For those that have regression issues (or when the bike's in the shop), San Francisco has a big wheel race down Portrero Hill.

You guys are a bunch of pussies.
When I was a kid, we played with bb guns, broken glass and matches.

Ahhhh....BB gun fights with the prerequisite swear/lie that you'd only pump the gun once.

LOVED my Green Machine as a kid....absolutely LOVED it. I wish I still had it LOL. I wonder how many Green Machines were responsible for creating motorcyclists as the kids got a little older...

Yeah, I had one of these...
..and we had the same swear/lie that we'd only pull it back halfway.
Thankfully I had a Levi's lined denim jacket that helped take some of the sting out of it.

I only see jesus having a sauna with a teletubbie.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

I got many beat downs from Mom after using the slingshot. She's take it away and I'd go steal it back repeatedly.
