Scenario: Eddie before he rides his bicycle puts on a bright pink helmet and elbow pads, when he meets up with his fellow classmates...

1973: They burst into laughter, question his sexuality, then jump him, rip his helmet off and play keep away

2006: They complement him on his choice of colors

Nah, neon pink is, like, so 1991. The style hasn’t come back around to it, yet.

I know the statistics about injuries from bicycle riding, but I still wonder sometimes. Neither I, nor anyone I knew or even knew of, received a serious head injury from falling off a bicycle. And I came off my bicycle pretty badly quite a few times. Ditto for skateboards.

Eddie wouldn’t WEAR any damn stinkin’ pads and helmets in 1973.

We had freedom then!
