Random Wheels



Not sure who the happy guy with the snazzy bike is.  (Pretty sure though that the woman on the porch is my greatgrandmother.)

Margaret (front) and Betty on their bikes circa 1940?


Tony @ 1983.
Brothers line up.  Note the dual headlights on that Western Flyer (and the argyle sox).

one schwinn, two schwinns, red schwinn, blue schwinn


Philip on a "sand crab" at North Myrtle Beach

This was my very first bike.

Nick's first ride was a Smurf!
Not sure why I'm so happy to be holding some else's bike AND wearing a suit.

That's a rough looking bike you got there Phil.  Must have been a hand me down.  Are you diggin' the matching Perry Como's?

It might have been Billy's bike, but I had a better crease in my pants.

There's something about that 1st set of wheels that brings out the biggest grins.

Christmas morning 1958, that bike looks a little big for that kid...but I sure was happy.
Time to move up a size.

Over weight!

Goose Point 1975.  That kid would ride in that back pack all day long.

also Goose Point, also 1975
Proper riding attire: argyle sox and a coonskin cap!

How about a little mother/daughter tandem quality time.

I'm not sure which one looks more uncertain about this.

Good thing he has training wheels 'cause he sure can't reach those pedals yet!
Working on my "tough guy" look here. Strollers sure were cool in 1955.



































They seem more interested in the size of the stick the dog is carrying than the bikes.
When beach cruisers get old.

Headed to the coast for a little beach cruisin'.
