To the tune of My Favorite Things by Rodgers and Hammerstein... Pop-ups and wheelies and brodies and skids, A hand-me-down junker to play with the big kids - We'd play Red Baron, though I was a tyke - Now I remember my favorite bikes. While good transportation, it was, for me, I wanted a Schwinn Stingray under the tree. Candy apple-red - what kid wouldn't like!? Now, I remember my favorite bikes. Freedom and speed, and the feel of the wind - My ten-speed became this boy's best friend, No offense to Jeff, or Alan or Mike - but I remember my favorite bikes. When old age brings Things I dislike and I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite bikes, and then I don't feel so bad.
