Before Cell Phones

May 8, 2016

If you were lucky enough to grow up without video games, the internet, satellite t.v., then you might remember what it was like to ride your bike all day long with your buddies – crafting makeshift ramps, making up crazy stunts and tricks, and just having a honest-to-goodness blast cruising the streets until Mom called you in. For a lot of us, it was the beginning of a lifelong love affair with wheels. The Schwinn Sting-Ray was a two-wheeled blacktop beast back then– especially with the on-the-frame gear shift and a fat rear slick. It was the only bike that mattered.
