Now I know the reason that I looked fit in yesterday's photo with my grandmother. Apparently, as a teenager, I exercised! I lived about three miles from town. For the years before a 100cc motorcycle, peddling was a major way of getting to school, Sunapee Harbor, or to friends'. I could've ridden the school bus but that was just too
uncool.
As I took a photo, I obviously liked this bicycle a lot. Prior to my 'ten-speed', I can remember that my folks had bought a black, 3-speed Raleigh for me. This white bike was much better because it didn't have coaster brakes. A chainguard might have been useful in the days of bell-bottoms though.
This image must have a date approximately the same as the past two.
I am guessing around 1972. This was also scanned from a slide.
