Oh, to be 12 again...

This would make it worthwhile!

Looks really cool. It also looks like a bitch to peddle, with your hands and feet stretched out in front.

I bet I could still do a 100-yard wheelie with that one on the left.

Wow, I think I actually had a knock-off when I was a kid. And here I thought it was just a crappy kids' bike. (This opinion was reinforced when I stepped on the pedal, and the bike broke in two.)

But man, those things were $50-130 .. in 1968! What's that in today's dollars?

I loved my Stingray. It was blue. With a white banana seat.

I may have to get a bicycle again. They make these with adult-size frames, right?

cool!

The Today Show had the hosts try out these bikes a few weeks ago on the plaza outside of their building. They looked like they had a lot of fun riding around.
