1971 - Bicycle Ride

this is from a super 8mm movie reel. This is before I learned to play guitar, before the death of Elvis, before computers, MTV, cell phones, game consoles. Life was much simpler then. Filmed on my block at 1703 Westminster Place

We got our banana seat bikes from Otasco but it was still fun to perform death defying stunts in the driveway for hours.

This video brings back a lot of great memories for me as well. I got a 1969 Sears Screamer 1 for my 8th birthday that year. Man that was one cool bike. @theWickedJohn, you're right - they just ain't nearly as cool as they once were.
