"Montgomery Ward Sting-Ray / 1964 it was / And I will never forget it because / That was a neater and a sweeter day"

*Transcendental Sonnet #1300:* *My New Bike 1964* *What was not to like about my new bike?* *A leopard-skin banana seat* *Long shiny chopper handlebars* *A big wide slick tire on the back* *Just like a dragster neat and sweet* *I fell off and I saw the stars* *Then everything went really black* *Got back on rode home feeling bold* *Because the fenders were all-chrome* *And the frame was metal-flake gold* *Montgomery Ward Sting-Ray* *1964 it was* *And I will never forget it because* *That was a neater and a sweeter day* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV Silke LLC*

Funny how such simple things like a bike seemed so decadently luxurious to us as children.

Bikes are an unspoken rite of passage in our culture.
Wonder how much community would benefit if it was acknowledged
that every pre-teen/teen remembers their first bike with this
kind of quality. Hmmm. We have more culture than we know, it just
goes uncelebrated at the level of common community.
