    I remember when a 10 speed bike actually had 10 speeds and I nicknamed them "two ton heavy thing" oh I wanted one so bad......

    Today, my $4,000 bike has an infinite amount of speeds and weighs less than 13 pounds.

    unreal.
    seriously, how many speeds?
    speeds are gears, yes/no?
    13 pounds is way badass.

    i remember learning to ride a bike with and without success.
    my folks must have been insane or something.
    i learned to ride a bike one way.
    me and bike at top of hill.
    go...

    i smashed my boy balls into the handlebars mounting station a lot.
    skinned my knees and elbows down to nothing.

    i am now a balancing act of amazement.

    i remember my brothers and me would ride our bicycles to the YMCA. This one particular day Dustin (the youngest) had a terrible accident. we all had our swimming suits on already. Dustin was shoeless, shirtless, towel wrapped around his shoulders/neck.

    Going down hill (rural Iowa is riddled with gravel roads) the three of us hauling ass, a good 30 mph I would guess, Dustin wipes out. A lady driving behind us stopped. We put Dustin's bike in her trunk. She had just offered to drive him home, Ryan and I biked onward to the YMCA and phoned home.

    I remember Dustin's knees and elbows were beyond hamburger.
    Ground up steak, piss and shit.
    Very painful.
    .....
    I remember my back being a ground up slab of beef due to a motorcycle accident on a gravel road.
    I remember the night before that, I got my nose broke by some mean man.

    dammit...

    We have a 4 lane highway going through the middle of our town and as a child my friends and I had left the city pool to go to the newly opened McDonald's for lunch. You had to cross the 4 lane highway of course. My mom always told me to walk my bike across the highway (what do mom's know?) Well, about halfway across one side I wipe out on my bike because my shoe lace gets caught in the pedal, right as the light is turning green. I get up and my lace is still caught. I am panicked because I am sure at that exact moment my mom already knows what has happened (I was like 10) and now cars are coming at me and I am trapped because my lace is caught and I have to drag my bike across 2 more lanes of traffic and I am in terrific pain as well from the scrapes I sustained. My friends are standing on the side of the road safely, urging me on like I was a contestant on a reality show and if they yelled at me a little harder it would some how make it all better. Well, guess what, they were wrong. We could probably start a whole tread about bike spills, because I am about as graceful as a cow on ice.

    Yes gears is the right terminology but I wanted to keep the theme of how long ago this was....(1973) I used to gawk at those 10 speed dreaming of having one like I was looking at a new Porsche. :D

    They were nowhere close to the fancy technological equipment road bikes have today. I think we should start a thread about bicycles and fun to be had and the nightmares that occur riding them. I know I have a few.

    Tupperware??? That was later on in my life.
    I remember when I was 9 years old and rolling around in the back of the station wagon with no seatbealt and by law I was allowed in the back of the Ute with the dog.
    We had no airconditioning and we never, ever threw rubbish out the window.....EVER!
    If us kids were out with our parents and Aunties, Uncles and Cousins, and if we got tired and wingey,
    we just had to go to sleep on the floor in the lounge..
    but the next day us kids were allowed to dinkey one another on the handle bars of anybodies bikes and take the bottles back to the shop and refund enough money to buy a pack of smokes, milk and lots and lots of lollies and coke.
    And,...........

    I remember when I was allowed at the age of 12, getting on the Armadale train line, 1/2 hour train trip into the city to see a movie and a Hamburger for lunch.....I'll never let my kids do what I did.

    I remember when people were nice.
