We were talking about big wheels just the other day and I was thinking the same thing.
Except maybe somewhere like Red Rocks for the course.
Anyone remember the Schwinn 3-Speed (aka: The Castrator).
And Dana brought up the badass Evil Knivel bike:
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
Oh yeah. My first high side was on one of these (Schwinn Stingray):
I think my dad still has it in his shop. I'll look when I go to visit in a couple of weeks.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
--Thomas Jefferson
Man, I'd kill to still have the first custom stingray chopper I built.
Double front forks, mini front wheel, flat slick rear tire,
sissy-bar, tiger skin banana seat, whip antenna flag, and 2-tone metalic candy apple red and silver paint job.
It was the shit.

I had one of those in yellow. I removed the kickstand to save weight.Oh yeah. My first high side was on one of these (Schwinn Stingray):

I remember this one. It was my favorite bike. Weird how the color scheme is so similar to the Busa I have now.

Yeah, the pic was of the 5-speed (Krate) with all the bells and whistles. It was the easiest pic to find.
But the original cross bar mounted shifter that would neuter you if you did a header into a parked car were internal hub 3-speeds.
But there aren't too many pics of them in pristine shape.

Good Sir, I stand corrected, (or is that rejected), Man I'm old and I don't think I've ever seen the "3 speed" version".. How old am I, I had a 2 speed Schwinn American, kick the pedals back like doing a coster brake stoppie and you got 2nd. gear (internal hub, coster brake, BIG tires!). Sure glad to see you guys out a PPIR again, too bad it was the last race of the 08 season, RATS!
Take care, Ride Safe but have FUN!

I think my brother had the Kneivel bike. But I remeber it looking cooler than that. Guess 25 years ago it did.
