Bikes: Lots of bikes for lots of different kinds of riding....

Hmm, I see lots of kids' bikes.
I see an ice cream stand.
I see, maybe two children in the background?

That's pretty weird, man.....

;-) Pretty cool! Got any more pictures? What's the story, muscle bike run?

I see lots of stems and seat posts extended beyond their safe limits.

Nostalgic for sure. I loved my Fireball, but have long since moved on. Nothing wrong with what the OP is doing at all. I salute him(?) for it. Cool, but not my thing.

The neon sign and wardrobes don't fit the picture either, along with the No Parking warnings. Too much of it isn't era-specific - but it remains a nice picture

I like the picture, but I can only imagine one of those bikes would be painful for me to ride, being 6'1" tall. If I had a large rec room, one of those Fastbacks, Krates or Sting Rays would be great decor.

You need a Manta Ray then. 24" wheels.
