I remeber riding home on my faded red schwinn with the fiberglass pole and orange flag. I remember the fiberglass splinters. I bet I put a million miles on that bike.
I came home and told dad all the other kids had cool bikes and I needed one. I never asked for stuff. On my birthday I got black mongoose with gold rims and gold handle bars.
I was Knight Rider on my KIT
My dad's office was 7 miles away and I had to ride past Love Field airport and through a not so nice part of town. One day I showed up in his office, he nearly pooed his pants. I used to run cross country, I had a friend I ran with and we would talk the whole 3 miles. Now I can barely pedal long genough for the clutch to engage.
