Old bikers are sentimental.....

While shopping with the wife today, I came across this little treasure. It is a kids picnic plate with a Sting-Ray bicycle on it. I paused to reflect on my old bike that I had as a child. Then I bought 15 plates and went home. Not really, I had the wife take a picture and then we left. Hmmmm...

  1. I've tried, but I just can't come up for the words I wish to respect regarding this posting.

    The Stingray was certainly the shit back then. Nowadays they just plain look learning-challenged. The only thing worse than a mint-condition Schwinn Stingray bike, is an adult riding a mint-condition Schwinn Stingray bike. The only thing worse than that is an adult riding a ratty BMX bike because that is his sole means of transportation.

    Good on ya for putting the plate back.

    Besides, I was always jealious of you guys with the 'english racers' and shit.

Spam and rudeness will not be tolerated. We're here to have a few grins, and if you can't abide, move along. Did I mention Spam? Because if I didn't, here it is. NO SPAM!! That includes saying you like our blog and it's thought-provoking (which we know is a lie) and here's a link to your blog. Basically, if you link post a link to a for-profit site without the express written consent of me or the Big Vance-a-rino, I'll delete your comment and you'll look like an ass or I'll mock you mercilesly for being a dork.
