Commuting - Mr. Dingle's Bike

http://www.newzoorevue.com/images/who_ding.jpg

Pictured above: the 1970's children's show "New Zoo Review" featured a character called "Mr. Dingle" (played by Chuck Woolery). Now THAT is one far out, freakadelic, Albert-Hoffman-would-love-it kinda bike there, Chucky. Appears to be a female model but man, I would so dig ridin' that baby in to work every day.

Great. Now I've got their freakin' theme song in my head.

Bikes-N-Drums, where have you been? Imagine my suprise seeing a thread started by you, only to open it and see that wild pic.

:D

Where the heck have you been dude its been ages since you posted anything

My music career and a few injuries last year occluded my cycling habit and I just sort of faded away from the bike thing. 'Course, when I do come back, you now know I'll be slapping everyone in the head with a hard hitting power post featuring forgotten children's shows. :beer:

Your inspiration, when offered, will add to the flavor of these chats.

I still want that bike, gosh darnit

Cute!

We need kids to enjoy bikes again. There is a huge drop off in them riding/commuting to school. Realize that that means parents are driving them to school. One way there, one way back. Double the gas. Sometimes, they make 4 trips a day--we do--because of basketball or other after school activities. Lots of traffic and congestion. Meanwhile, our kids are fatter than ever!

Could this change? I think so. We need a 2006 guy like that to inspire kids to bicycle.

You in Brookhaven, man?

You won't believe it, but one day I got off early from work and rode my bike straight up Piedmont to Peachtree, then turned right and rode all the way past Lenox, up towards the Chamblee station. Then I turned off P'tree Ind. onto a parallel sidestreet that goes past the station. I ended up in Dunwoody.

Did you see me ride by Brookaven Station? :D (j/k) funny thing, my son told me that night, "I saw you ride past Lenox."

Actually I moved to Clarkston recently, but I am quite familiar with where you rode. That parallel side street that takes you through Chamblee was a regular ride for me not only when I lived in Chamblee but after, just as an after-work relaxation ride. Riding P'Tree St. north, past Oglethorpe and such, can be a treacherous ride - I won't do it. That takes cajones grande .

Great Henrietta Hippo poo! That was Chuck Woolery?

I heard Emmy Jo lost out to a coke habit.
