Got lucky on the first turning green light but hey next red light, who cares!!!

65 tooth chainwheel?

Epic

YT just suggested this.. thanks for the ride.. 😂

I had one of those bikes when I was a kid , I'm 56 years old that was fun to ride that bike! Thank you for that video. That's cool so was that bike!

Long push back up that hill..😂😂

Awesome, let's do that again

There was a steep road where I grew up in the sixties. Don’t remember which bike I had or if the speedometer was accurate, but I would pin the speedometer at 60 going down that hill…..really stupid on my part

Blowing reds at 50 on a stingray..... sick !!!

Brought back memoof my Schwinn Lemon Crate with 5 Speed. I think the fastest i had it once was 35 or 40 going down a pretty good hill. Gotta hope them bearing don't give out.

How did the speedometer get calibrated with the 20" wheel size of the Stingray? Not quite clear that this is real. I've done thousnads of miles on bicycles over my lifetime and even going down a steep hill 55MPH seems unlikely. Dodn't hear any heavy breathing from the cyclist either.

If a cop catches you you can still get a speeding ticket

Truly terrifying white knuckle ride 😅

Now we know why the hospitals are so full…

Kudos good sir! 😀👍

A better, and much longer video, would be him peddling back up to the start.

I wanted to see the bottom of your shoe, to see how much rubber you wore off trying to slow down.

The fastest I’ve ever gone on my Schwinn 10 speed back in 1980 was, 35 miles per hour on a flat surface. I got behind a dump truck on Clearview Parkway in Metairie, Louisiana and ‘DRAFTED’ him.

Impressive stop by the caliper brakes. Those hard erasers must’ve gone up in smoke.

" Bookin "

Nuts!

Where's the cardboard in the spokes?

funny stuff. if you can do 55 on a schwinn stingray then I should be able to do 75 on my 19 lb LeMond road bike on the same hill. if I were young and brave like I used to be I'd challenge you. fastest I ever went was 54 MPH down Polameras road off Niles Canyon, that was years ago on my old Centurion.

I did 55 MPH downhill with the same speedometer on almost a daily basis down a particular hill while delivering newspapers back in the early 70's on my Schwinn Varsity with 27 inch wheels. I could not imagine doing 55 MPH on a String Ray with 20 inch wheels!! The Weinman brakes on those Schwinn's were terrible and the brakes on the String ray geared bicycles were especially bad at speed unless you installed the American made Scott Mathauser or other brake pads.

We pushed our stingrays up to the top of a bluff, new asphalt,...had to slow down for a tunnel...lol...no helmets...no nothin!...(Best of times!)

you are a maniac!!!!!

Must be a helluva slope

If that bike was ever over 35 mph then I'm Tom Cruise. And I don't want to be Tom Cruise...

Holy Crapski!

It had a camera but no horn to tell those a*holes to get out of the way???

😂 All you needed to do was engage the old generator-powered headlight ..the whole casing would be glowing orange.

There's another video, it an ad for the wheelie bar that you could put on your stingray, it really brings back memories, check it out!🙏👋🤠👍

I've hit 50mph on a 2 year old road bike, and that felt pretty iffy. You've got nerves of steel, my friend.

Got a stingray as soon as they came out, don’t remember the year or my age, but I’m 69 now What an awesome, fun bike, spent about 70% of the time riding only on the rear tire!

We know you aren't gen X, there would have been a ramp at the bottom.

That was terrifying ....

That was awesome. Intense. Insane.

@0:52. Speed limit is 35

I used to be able to get 29 mph from a stand still at a stop light by the time I crossed to the other side. Doesn't sound impressive, but I could get a bike to move very quickly. I was also able to avg 17 mph for 17 miles in the city with stop lights . All of this on a beach cruiser in my late thirties. I couldn't get enough if bike riding.

You are a man among men! I had one in the 70s & I have one now. A 1970 Sting-Ray Fastback 5-speed Orange Krate color. What Schwinn is that? Where is that hill? State/intersection? I want to go!!!

I wonder how many people tried (and failed) this on Old tires, and brakes...lol! 😎😎

Back in the early 70s I got my 1969 Schwinn Stingray up to 45 mph. What a blast! Good thing I didn't have any bigger hills available.

Do you believe that speedometer to be accurate? I’ll be recording a 40 mph attempt on my channel.

11 years after this video was put up...still one of my favorite Schwinn videos to watch......never gets old!!

Wow, I see you like living dangerously, God & the stop lights were with you, geez!

0:44 It feels like he hit the throttle and by 1:04 you're really wondering if he has a motor. I know he doesn't but it really does feel that way. Amazing.

This is awesome. Do you still have the bike? If so, you need to post another video 👍

Impossible. There is no way it's accurate. You'd be lucky to reach 30 mph on that bike. Those speedometers were there for their cool factor and not for accuracy.

That takes incredible control and congratulations on not tearing yourself apart.

You realized that speedometer is for km/h not mph right?
