Ancient, in bicycle terminology for me, at least, dates back to before the Wright boys
put that flying machine together in the back of that bike shop of theirs.
I think you understand my point, that airplanes originally borrowed from bikes and
that after the big money started chasing altitude, bikes have gotten considerable tech
boost from the aerospace industry.
And I was born in 1949, sonny Jim, so don't tell me how ancient the 60's were, cause I was there.
