How many of this generation ?

Ah yes, the kids equivalent of a muscle car

My uncle had one of those, I always wanted to ride one of those 'muscle' like bycicles but I was too short when those where the shit so I had to cope with my litte trike lol, don't get me wrong I had a blast with it

had something similar almost 40 years ago

I had one and my 2nd oldest brother found out the hard way don't switch gears when going down a steep hill. He went over the handle bars and didn't let go of them when he did. He broke the handle bars OFF and broke his wrist and foot. Right wrist Left foot. My Dad told him not to get on the bike because he is 6'3 and the bike was for my height 5ft at that time. I was like 10. When he got on it his knees where practically in his arm pits. So since my Dad warned him and he didn't listen my Dad made him pay for the Handle bars to be fixed.

This type of bike is so comfortable to ride! Bring them back!
