*high five*

I'd like to fuel my car like it's 1999.

Why can't this be my neighborhood? Those are my peoples...

D@mn straight!

I must agree!!

I went for Ulysses 31 and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors when I was a kid.

It’s always hammertime

I would give anything to have some of this again.

So many scars...the rounded bear claw ones were the worst

The kid's mother would probably sue the bicycle company for hurting her "baby" if he got hit in the shin nowadays.

And your pants shredded by the chain that had no chain guard.

We called them "rat traps"

Since we were basically barefoot all summer, we’d make our parents swap these monstrosities out for the rubber pedals that are much easier on bare feet.

Or riding bare foot when you lost your flip flop. It’s fine until you have to go up a hill.

I used to ride barefoot with these

The only thing worse is the kick starter on a dirt bike.

Which is why we changed the product design. The kids weren’t pansies, the adults were idiots. I hate this rhetoric.

The memories are so deeply embedded in my brain, just seeing this photo hurts my shiin.

Rode 'em barefoot.

Also riding with bare feet!

No bare feet. Rubber things (havianas) at best

I was a beast, I rode with those barefoot.......ouch, my back hurt typing that. Wheres' the Advil?

A few years ago I was at my friends and they had a bike like this. It was in the summer so I had bought sandals. I wanted to ride, my friend said yes, and even if we had thought about it, I couldn't have worn her shoes because I have tiny feet. A sandal fell off, and I still have a scar.

Pic curls my toes

Still have the scars

We didn't wear helmets or knee pads, and we had to contend with these leg-shredders to boot. Returned home looking like you just crawled out of the trenches. Life was tough back in the old days.

I've always wondered why they couldn't come up with a better design?

Or trying to ride barefooted because who wears shoes in the summer?

What about bellybutton straps so your pants wouldn't get caught in the chain?

Wear factor great. Survivability not so much.

I lost a couple of pairs of shoes to these saws.

Rocky Horror and Clue

Nobel prize for literature, right there

Indeed we did, yes ma'm. ;-)

"We totally should have nuked woodstock"

Taking a break from riding all over the place eating Ding Dongs that came wrapped in aluminum foil, drinking Tang and battling tanks on Atari 2600 before taking off on another adventure!

I show my age by confessing that I knew the names of all the songs these lines came from straight away

And don't forget, that was supposed to be 3D!

Looney Toons too!

Underrated!

You can still buy these.

"2 mints in one"

For non-Americans, that's Parental Guidance content rating.

Bring out the black light!

I have a photo of my mum who was very visibly pregnant with me smoking a cigarette.

The display of my childhood computer would be a typewriter.

RIP, Robin. You were a genius.

and in the afternoon and in the evening...

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get it. Anybody else?

Your momma is so stupid/fat/lazy...[insert random offensive insult here]...battle it out, everyone laughs, and we all play dodgeball or G.I. Joe until the street lights came on.

Fridays were always square pizza day!!

I remember watching Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet on one of these in our English literature class. Olivia Hussey was hot!

Oh wow. I forgot this.

Why do I feel like driving a drop top 5.0 Mustang all the sudden?

Or a girl and her bike! I loved my bike...the whole neighborhood had bikes and we were outside all day and everyday we could!

When it’s a school day but Frankie’s vig’s due and he may need some persuasion

Another astounding talent gone before his time.😥

Everybody wanted the jacket
