Delivered The Chicago Tribune 1973-1979. I remember getting up at 5am and getting home by 6:30.
I had a late 1940s Schwinn with the skip-tooth “hearts” crank. My mom got it for $1 at a garage sale. It was a tank and the grease would freeze up in the Chicago winters. I was making $3 a week for working Monday-Saturday. I enjoyed having the cash and it built one heck of a work ethic.
The bike was very similar to this (web pic)
