I delivered afternoon papers in farmland that was converting to suburbia. I started with one of those big chrome Columbias. Back saddle baskets. It’s was a dream. Then used my paper money to buy a “Ten-speed”. It was nice until it was swiped. At 61 I’ll still climb most any hills with a single- speed. Don’t test me. If you really grew-up on a bike, you know-how. Glad I’m still just a kid.
