Feature Book - Schwinn Bicycles
This book brings back a lot of memories. I grew up riding Schwinn
bicycles. It was my way of being cool, as I would skid into my
gravel driveway with my Stingray. With banana seat, wide, slick back
tire, and wide handlebars, who was not? With a set of trading cards
(which would probably be worth a lot of money if I had them today)
pinned to the wheel spokes, it would give a neat sound. When I reached
the sixth grade, I was given a Schwinn ten speed, 26 inch one. It was a
couple of years before I could comfortably rest my feet on the ground
without standing on tip toes. For the Schwinn fan, this book is a great
resource.
