An excellent ad! I had a Sears Spyder bike from the 70s go through my hands three years ago. The bike is kind of a Schwinn Krate knock-off. I was 43 at the time and when I took a look at it, I simply couldn’t resist a wheelie attempt. It started out okay but after four or five pedal stokes I just couldn’t hold it. Of course I fell backwards. I don’t think I’d tried popping a wheelie in about 25 or 30 years. I was lucky not to hurt myself too badly (other than my pride) and I got wheelie bug out of my system. I’d say I’ll never attempt another wheelie, but if I ever happen to acquire a bike with a wheelie bar attached, well....
