My Screamer1 didn't need any wheelie bars. It was so damn hard to pedal I could have NEVER done a wheelie with it. But it was the baddest bike on the block. 8 years old, 1970.
Twin rear brakes and NO front brake? What was the thinking there?

I couldn't help but think how there's now way that would happen today! The disclaimers would take up the entire screen, and the kids would have on so much protective gear they'd look like something from another planet. Yes NO bare feet Broke myself of that habit real easy. Was racing a friend on my Schwinn StingRay and I was barefooted. Foot came off the pedal and the fork was between my big toe and the next one. Spokes peeled the meat off the outside of my big toe. Never rode barefoot again after that. Tim

Tim Hell, I remember my foot slipping off the pedal into the front wheel where my whole (7 year old) foot was jammed between the forks and the spokes as I rode to a stop. The only thing that cured me was the steel cleated pedals on ten-speeds....those were painful to ride barefoot. I had a mini bike with no brakes, could burn through a set of tennis shoes in one day if I wasn’t careful.
