I'm so old I Remember when:

[MROO]

Mine was blue with silver pinstripes. Blue with silver flake banana seat. Ape hanger bars. Matching blue with silver flake hand grips and a big ol shifter on the cross bar.
Unfortunately a short sissy bar but it did have a wide flat drag slick rear tire. Chain guard came loose and banged around so I tossed it and tied my bell bottom tight to my leg with a shoestring.

OhMaGosh, Yeah! Getting your pant legs unsnagged from the bike chain was the worst! Mom just shook her head when the (daily delivered) newspaper showed up without a rubber band ... again. She knew I'd snagged it to ward off a bell bottom disaster!

All you had to do was turn the paper sideways

No, you just turned your head sideways.

I also made the chain fall off my sister's bike and crashed it into some grape vines. My sister got mad and all it needed was the chain reseated .
