Take a truly parental, close look at the hotrod bikes. These bikes have disappeared from the planet for a substantial reason:
Kid is going along and either bumps into something (curb) or small ditch. Or, he goes to slow down by dragging his feet like kids always do. The ape-hanger ***** handlebars are so high up, the reversed leverage is so bad, the kid cannot stop his forward movement like he could on a real bike. It was like swinging on hands and wrists.
All the actions in the above paragraphs were in lawsuits for kids getting injured or even de-balled by the STEEL VERTICAL ROD they called the gear shifting lever.
The figure on the left is the bike's shift lever.
Anything happen to y'all when you rode, Rosty? BTW: The word "peanuts" describes reality a few moments after you hit the lever with Mr Happy.
