Schwinn and the Mercury owned the market, nearly every house in the neighborhood took the paper and every kid had a Schwinn.

Both lost their market share with lousy business decisions.

We were too poor for a Schwinn. I had a Kmart Huffy bike.

My brother had a Schwinn. Bought it with his paper money. It was a fancy thing with a lot of chrome. He had been told by my mother not to ride it in the street, and one day when she saw him riding in the street, she dragged the bike into the house, and up the stairs to the attic, where it stayed for quite a while.
