Hey, a scar is merely a sign of growing up… at least for our age group.
At Christmas, aged 6, my parents bought me my first bike.
Problem was it was an adult male (upper crossbar) bike.
They probably may have not have known that a friend had taught me how to ride such a bicycle by tipping it on an angle and using your second leg under the crossbar. (Perhaps they already knew? Parents are sneaky too!
Our method for two on a bike was that the passenger rode side-saddle on the crossbar. Few had rear carriers.
In winter, we would wrap binder twine (sisal at the time?) over the tires with a wrap between each spoke. Very good traction.
One day, while towing my young sister home on a sleigh on a street from downtown I got stopped by the R.C.M.P. Apparently he deemed it unsafe and made her walk the last block.
