Babe Ruth
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...6f990fe3fe.jpg

"In the spring of 1914, during the first season of Babe Ruth’s professional baseball career, when received his first paycheck, the first purchase he made was a bicycle. According to his recollections published in The Babe Ruth Story, Babe shared the story with Bob Considine: “I went out and celebrated, just as soon as I got my first paycheck – $100. I bought a bicycle, something that I had wanted and often prayed for through most of my young life. Most of the Orioles, of course, had cars, but none of them was as proud as I was, riding the first possession of my life through the old streets of Baltimore.” from https://baltimoreheritage.org/programs/bicycle/

Now you've got me looking for a photo of David Brinkley on a bike.

Looks like Coop had his own studio lot bike. It's a bit high seated for Ruth, though.
One of the few celeb photos with properly inflated tires.

Cool. I had never seen that cover. He's one of my favorites. Babbitt really affected me when I read it as a young man.

Four of the kids from the retro '80s show Stranger Things: Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas), Finn Wolfhard (Mike), Millie Bobby Brown (El) and Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin). I love that Lucas's bmx got the banana seat treatment. Looks like Mike's bike was reissued.
