Hey, I'm over 10 years old! I'm old enough for this, YAY!

If you were a kid in the early 80's, you always knew of the one family that had a beat-up Green Machine in the garage or basement.

WILD AND WACKY ACTION BIKE!

I had one! It was the chopper of the Big Wheels... big, impossible to steer, but totally awesome.

This looks dangerous and AWESOME.

When I was about 9, my upstairs neighbor and I had a game we called "Spider-Man."

One of us would be the Green Goblin, and ride my Green Machine back and forth in the middle of the street in front of our building.

The other would be Spider-Man, and would hide between parked cars and run out into the street to "catch" the Green Goblin - this involved running behind the Green Machine, jumping forward and grabbing the back axle, then being dragged behind the trike until the Green Goblin was physically unable to continue peddling.

This was the game we played Sunday mornings, which meant that it often ruined church clothes.

Being a kid back then really was different from nowadays.
