When was the last time anyone saw a pack of 10-12 year olds on a Saturday afternoon all on their bicycles being carefree kids??? That would be as rare as a unicorn sighting these days.🦄🚲🤔
Every time I hear of a company moving operations to China, I immediately decide that’s not a product for me!
One of the happiest days of my life, Christmas morning 1969, seeing the most beautiful magenta Sting-ray with my name on it! I'm 57 now, if I had that bike right now I'd jump on it and pop a wheelie!
"made in China"
Had a Schwinn Sting Ray as a young boy and some SOB stole it. I cried and my grandmother bought me a new one...Thanks, Granny (in Heaven)
"Made in America." ...gone with the Schwinn.
The bankruptcy information explains how my cousin’s stationary bike was produced in America. She still uses it to this day. American buyers need to return to real American Made. Victory Gardens are needed to as much as during WWII. All the divisions must stop. Community must return.
Anyone else remember clipping playing cards to the spokes with a clothes hanger clip so you could sound like a chopper?
No mention of Captain Kangaroo???? He began promoting Schwinn in 1958 and continued for twenty years.
Who put a playing card and clothes pin on the back wheel to make the noise!
When I was five years old, in 1969...... on my birthday, I remember a van pulling up in front of our house and a man delivering a red Schwinn with a silver sparkle banana seat with red & white streamers on the handlebars. Loved it! 🚲
I loved Schwinn bikes growing up in the 70's.
I had the one with the giant shifter on the cross bar. Go ahead and call me a Boomer. We had it all and I will be glad I don't have to face the future.
Had mine in the early seventies when I was about ten years old. That's when Evel Knievel was doing his motorcycle jumping and stunts. My friends and I would jump our Sting Rays off of dirt pile ramps and also ride wheelies as far as we could. The beating those bikes took was an excellent testimony to Schwinn quality.
I remember being a young boy in the 60's and wanting a stingray bicycle. I took on a paper route to make enough money so I could buy me one. It was painted a gold color and was beautiful to me. I will always remember that bicycle. I worked and bought it myself.
Have the old home movies with the Schwinns under the Christmas Tree and us kids in PJ’s sitting on them. Great times.
I was born in 1960 and I got a Schwinn Sting-ray in 1969 for my birthday. I loved that bike until 1974 when I talked my parents into a dirt bike. What a great time to be a kid I'm glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's.
Hey, I still have my pink Schwinn banana seat bike in the garage.. Its cira 1963... Real good shape, but tires need air..I always loved riding my bike, streamers and all. Bell to ring, basket on front. They were the days, the good old '60's...
BEST time ever to be a kid, the 1960's and 70's ...... my brother had the Stingray but I had to have a 3 speed because I was a girl ....... good times !!!!!
Got one for Christmas when I was about 12 years old. Best present ever!
