OK,, Balloon’s being the same, you would blow one up and have enough on both ends to tie to the fork and it must be able to rub against the spokes. It’s as simple as that, but you have to try it.. It takes a little bit of testing so make sure the kids are not around. You will look like an Idiot if they are.. Just make sure you get long and durable ones.. HaHa.. No pun intended.. GOOD LUCK…

I actually found a pair of skates at a flea market and my brother came up with a skate key. I am still looking for the big clamps. Wasnt it annoying when your skate came off and the strap was still around your ankle. You had to drag over to a bench or some place to sit to fix it.

My best bike memory is putting baseball cards held on with clothespins on the spokes of my wheels. What a sound! Only problem was I wasn’t allowed to ride around too early on Sunday mornings, ’cause I’d wake the neighbors!

Hmmmm … I remember something a bit more sinister … SLING SHOTS. They were really easy to make .. All you needed was a tree branch shaped like a Y and a strong rubber band. My girlfriend’s brother (yes that SAME one that appears in some of my other stories) used to LOVE to hit us with his sling shot. Unfortunately, he was great at aiming too! We’d ride by on our bikes, and “POW!” we’d be hit. We’d rollerskate, and “BAM!” right on our derierre’s … Then he’d “POP” out of the bushes laughing. Wonder if Bart Simpson is his hero…. hmmmmm.
