The Kid's Bike Introduced just after the First World War by several
manufacturers, such as Mead, Sears Roebuck, and Montgomery Ward, to revitalize
the bike industry (Schwinn made its big splash slightly later), these designs,
now called "classic", featured automobile and motorcyle elements to
appeal to kids who, presumably, would rather have a motor. If ever a bike
needed a motor, this was it. These bikes evolved into the most glamorous,
fabulous, ostentatious, heavy designs ever. It is unbelievable today that
14-year-old kids could do the tricks that we did on these 65 pound machines!
They were built into the middle '50s, by which time they had taken on design
elements of jet aircraft and even rockets. By the '60s, they were becoming
leaner and simpler.
