That Schwinn line of bikes were so cool. They were about $95 each, which was a lot of money in the late 1960s for a bicycle.

Boy Howdy!
Only the rich kid on my block had one of these ("Pea Picker") and we were all envious. I was stunned when I rode it.
What a machine! The suspension was so cool.
And along with my Cannondale tandem, I also had a Schwinn tandem for kicking around the neighborhood. Good quality tandems are still out there being ridden. If you want some Big Fun, get a few strong tandems together and get them working together.

I was in South Jersey last week and there were signs all over for a tandem rally at the local high school on the weekend
I would have liked to have one of these Huffy Radiobikes.
Schwinn has a made a limited edition 2017 Lemon Peeler bicycle. Only 500 were made and they sell for $350.
My question is, "Where is the stick shift?"
MADISON, Wis., Feb. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Schwinn, a brand of Dorel Industries, Inc. (TSX: DII.B, DII.A), today released a limited production run of 500 Schwinn Lemon Peeler bicycles. The Lemon Peeler is part of the Sting-Ray family of bicycles, one of the most popular and beloved bike designs for generations of Schwinn riders. Available for the first time since 2008, Schwinn fans will be able to own a piece of the brand's history.
The first Sting-Ray bikes rose to popularity in the 1960s and became synonymous with childhood. The Lemon Peeler was the bright yellow favorite among kids. "The Schwinn Lemon Peeler is one of the most recognized Schwinn bikes," said Milissa Rick, Schwinn Senior Director of Marketing. "We're excited to make this bike available to those who always wanted to own a Schwinn Sting Ray. This is an opportunity for us to also share our story with a new audience."
The limited edition Lemon Peeler will feature a spring suspension fork, a Schwinn 16-inch front wheel and a 20-inch Sting-Ray Slik rear tire just like its original counterpart. Additionally, the bike is equipped with a striped banana seat, fenders and a coaster brake.
"The Lemon Peeler harkens back to the classic Sting-Rays of the 1960s," said Josh Vick Director of Schwinn Product. "These bikes have so much history attached to them, and they're fun to ride. I have no doubt that they will go fast."
There will be only 500 bikes made in this run and each bike will come with a numbered certificate. The Schwinn Lemon Peeler will be available from Amazon.com starting in February for $349.99.
And where is the front drum brake? No, I don't think so.
