Re: My earliest ride
Just found a pedal car shot from Xmas '65. I'll bet most of us got our start on a pedal car. I even rolled one once trying to take a downhill corner going down a steep sidewalk. The front wheel dropped off the curb and that sucker rolled over into the street, going around only once but it felt like 200mph at Daytona. Nope, no helmet, no nothing, we just bled a little and got over it. How did we ever make it through childhood without all the "safety" crap kids have to wear nowadays? When my wife's not around I let my kids ride their bikes around the backyard without their helmets. Shhh, don't tell her.
