On your bike back in the old days ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-txZE2ggg

Real men (age 10) didn't need no stinking Wheely bars :)

To tell you the truth, I don't remember that product at all. And yes, I had stingray bikes...complete with sissy bars and banana seats, and even extended forks. Maybe it was a regional thing?

:Dlol Start off on 2 Wheels............................................ ..........................O
pop your front tire off the ground and now your bike is a trike.. O O to -- > 8 O

OMG, no helmets! What were they thinking :D

Never seen that before. Born in '71 and grew up living all over the country. One thought - can you imagine an advertiser today showing kids doing stuff like riding bearfoot, standing on the seat, not wearing a helmet, and the like? No way.

I liked the burnout with tire squeeling

Heck no,we popped ours over backwards.Look ma,no hands.Look ma,no feet.Look ma.no teeth.:D

don't remember them .

WOW, yep had one. Thought it was the greatest thing ever. Had the neighborhood record going around the block 2x on it. Memories....

year ?

Geez, maybe 69, 70

Remember "On any Sunday"? The kid in the beginning road a wheelie for miles.

i never seen them before,i grew up in the 60s-70s.i never needed one either.i was a bad mo fo on a bike or a skate board:D

ok, born in 67 here so don't remember them :D

Never seen one and didn't need one I could ride a wheelie pretty far on my orange crate

I grew up in the earily 70's i dont remember the Wheelie bar ..but i do remember the Big Wheel. Man i tore it up on one of those. :D

I was born in '61, had a Schwinn stingray, but never saw that product before. We rode wheelies so much that I could shift gears on my 10 speed while riding one. I eventually learned to ride a unicycle.
No safety gear back then, and I've got a few scars to prove it.

never had one,did have a bike with banana seat high bars.i guess a willie bar would have help a couple of times, like when front wheel came off when i was rideing a wheelie when a car load girls load of girls pass by.:o

Saw this yesterday on craigslist. Missing the whammo wheely bar thing though

Remember the "slicks" for these. This one still has.

Schwinn ran 70s drag racing ads showing Stingray bikes with "diggers" in the ad.
They sold bike acc like wheelie bars, drag slicks, etc and even one that deploys a parachute.

I remember them but no one in our neighborhood ever had one...we did it the old fashion way, hold the wheelie, or walk the wheelie, I used to walk the wheelie for blocks...I had several stingrays and I still own about 5 of them...I do see them come up on Ebay every once in a while thou, and they are not cheap...Anyone remember the varoom by matel?
