Also watch for the right turners, they will floor it through school kids crossing in Rottenchester.
And they act like it's a daily thing. :confused:

The white-on-red metal plates on the previous posts look identical to the plates my brother and I had on our bikes ca. 1964-65. They were thought to be a deterent to bicycle theft, but the fact was if your bike was stolen, the thieves could easily cut the plates off with a pair of pliers and go on about their business.
We had them because we thought they looked cool, not because we were worried about the cops. I never once heard about the DPD in my neighborhood hassling kids for not having bike tags. They had more important things to deal with.
Awesome, thanks for answering my question. "Sometime in the 1960s" will do it. I proudly sport my A-67153 plate on my bike as I ride around Vancouver.
Appreciate the compliment and yes it probably is worth a few bucks since I restored it.
BTW, if you are into old bicycles the Packard Proving Grounds has added a vintage bicycle class to their annual show on Sunday, June 12th. I will be showing my Packard Bicycle there and about 9 others are also registered to appear. Registration is still open, please see the attached form.
While this is designed mainly for kids to enter [[it is FREE) and allows 3 adults to accompany the exhibitor, it doe a few of us get a chance to show off our rides.
Please see the attached flyer and registration form.

Thanks for the heads-up. Will try to attend. Speaking of old bikes, I had a Schwinn Lemon Peeler [[Yellow) growing up. I'm sure you remember those, they came in different colors and names, and had a stick shift type gear changer, small front tire, with disc brakes, and banana style seat. Man, I wish I kept that bike now.....
