Back then local organizations would put on bicycle safety courses for school children and you'd get some sort of "prize" for completing it and a sticker to put on your bike. Around here it was usually the Lions or Kiwanis clubs.
In the 1960s a 26" wheel bicycle could be considered adult or junvenile. If it was coaster brake with a camel back top tube, it was typically considered a junvenile bicycle. If it was 3 speed with a straight top tube, it was generally considered an adult bicycle.
