When I was really little, 3 or 4, they had a big old sedan, and they would take the back seat out to put tents and matresses in to go camping, and we just piled in and rode on those...like you said, seatbelts were toys....and those banana seat bikes: great for giving friends rides....I think we were more flexible back then, or something...16 blessings'momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611246330849334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313234209573779535.post-88357880188812237892008-06-23T14:44:00.000-04:002008-06-23T14:44:00.000-04:00Oh how I miss my green Schwinn banana seat bicycle...Oh how I miss my green Schwinn banana seat bicycle! It was a hand-me-down from my cousin and was the best bike in the world. We usually rode double, and once in a while, if there was a bicycle shortage, we would ride triple. Disney movies were a treat since they only came around once a year. Same with holiday specials. I was afraid of the abominable snowman on Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer. My brother also ran a phone line to his bedroom and to the garage too. Dad had a Rambler stationwagon and we rode in the back. Car seats were a novelty and seatbelts were toys. We even curled up on the floor of the car to get warm or take a nap. YIKES!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293816902877287168noreply@blogger.com
