70's

[Oldhippy]

Cowhorn handlebars, I remember fitting them on a bike I'd made from bits and pieces to make what would now be a hack bike I guess. Biggest tyres my paper round money could buy, knobblies of course and I had an all weather road bike, crosses and general tear about machine. The ever ready lights weighed a ton as well!

Best era by far, especially 76

It's quite fashionable in some parts.

Ah, 76, the year I swapped my pedal cycle for a Honda SS50.

 

[hoopdriver]

The year I bought a Schwinn Paramount...

 

[screenman]

The decade we got married, had our first son, got made homeless and started out first business.

Easily the greatest keyboard player in rock music in one of the greatest bands ever.

I had a Raleigh Hustler with Cowhorns, I thought it looked the business, I probably looked a proper prat!

I had a tricycle my dad bought off the bin men.

Mind, I was only 1 in 1976...

You won't remember the hot summer then

Indeed not.

I still have the tricycle on the loft somewhere, though...

A certain John Deacon.

I was still on a Grifter in the late 70s.
