Not even a SCHWINN, Mac???

I mean you DO know that owning a Schwinn Stingray is ALMOST as "cool" as owning a CORVETTE Stingray, don't ya?!

(...hey, I said "almost" here, remember!)




They were cool, my younger brothers both had them, my youngest sister had a pink one. I had a full size JC Higgins, Sears I think, with a huge balloon tire off a Huffy on the back. Times have changed, I remember growing up when a kid's bike was like a grownup's car. Baseball practice, swim team, Scouts, you name it no one was delivering you in a car, if you were going you were peddling.
