Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Kewl! I'd love to have the real version of that gear!


Actually have a couple floating around the house. One time after I'd taken off my right boot, trying to get the left boot off it slipped, and the backwards force I was applying with my left leg just about peeled the toenails off my right foot. Still remember hopping around in helluva pain with one boot still on.

Maybe you should've taken off the left boot first.

This ad is from 1956, but I remember seeing ads in the late 60s for colored bicycle tires on TV with the Saturday cartoons. At age nine or ten I thought that would be so cool on my AMF Roadmaster banana seat bike!

I never actually saw them in any stores or on the street. When I just did a search, I found that they are available online. Of course they are. lol.

Somehow I don't see 60 year old me putting a set of them on my TREK this summer.

Well...’Like’...but not “Like”...ya know?
Sorry for that painful memory!

I can totally see the 56 year old me putting those on my 29er , esp. with those big white walls! My condolences on the death of your sense of whimsy.
