You may have seen these bikes in old films and television shows. While most of us today can identify motorcycles from pushbikes, someone in the ’60s decided that bicycles should look like chopper motorbikes. These pedal bikes were never going to win anybody the Tour de France or any local race, but they sure were stylish. With their banana seats and ape-hanger handlebars, the bikes were every little kid’s dream. These bikes are widely associated with 1960s suburban America.
