Mr. 70 thanks for the thread, sure brought back the memories. I grew up in Cincinnatti Ohio and I recall me and all of the neighborhood kids having big wheels. We would race each other, act out demolition derby, you name it.

My brother and I rode our big wheel so much it that we flat-spotted the front wheel in several spots. Loved that lever to brake the rear wheel and spin.
Besides the playing outside we would play with legos when it rained and find all sorts of things to build with our imagination.
Wouldn't change a thing about the past. We didn't have much money, but as kid you didn't realy realize that and found ways to have fun.
