Why Can't They Be Like We Were?

Great little film about kids riding their bikes around  in Australia 1976, and the lack of things to do in an inner city environment. I used to have a chopper bike like this to ride to and from school, it was my pride and joy.

                       


You wouldn't see kids riding around like this today, sadly.

    Great video. Thanks for posting. I too had a Raleigh Chopper - one with that awesome gearstick on the crossbar. The later ones had that removed. Apparently a safety issue - funny old world.
