Re: Banana seats(have you noticed, no one ever calls them banana *saddles*?
)
About age 11 I got my second bike(my younger brothers were constantly using the 24 incher by then!), another black Schwinn, this time w/26" wheels,- I think it was a Typhoon. Within a year or so, the Sting Rays hit the scene, & it semed everyone I knew soon had one except for me! I was a pretty big kid for my age by then, & at about age 12 bought & installed a banana seat & set of ape-hanger handlebars on that 26" Schwinn, & rode it that way for the next ~1 1/2 yrs.
In the summer of '67 I got my driver's license, and never seriously thought of bicycles again
- until early January of this year.
