Classic Pedal Day San Francisco Schwinn Stingray Krate huffy murray & more webisode 5

We meet when ever we can get people together and when the weather is nice we have Classic Pedal day. It is a lot of fun and you get to see a lot more of the city of San Francisco on a bike than you would in a car. It is great fun meeting new riders and learning the history of these historic bikes. If you want a video made like this and even better in your city or country I am available for hire. I'm more creative with a budget.

One of my Favorite KZbin Videos of All Time.

[@KennyInVegas]

My first bike was in 1969.. a red Stingray. Handle bars wide enough to give a friend a ride. Great memories... thanks.

[@choward5430]

I'm 63 years old. When I first saw this style of bike in 1968, I wanted one. In 1969, I wanted one. In 1970, I wanted one. In 1971-72,73, 74, and even in 1975, I wanted one. I never got one.

[@designmike2003]

Love your videos. I used to live in the bay area. Wish I could ride around SF with you guys. I got a 69 stingray, a 68 runabout turned into a mini 5 speed fenderless, a 67 schwinn midget, a 67 panther, and a bunch of other bikes that arent as cool.

[@KindCreature1]

Great video! A friend back in the day had the Pea Picker, and to this day he sure misses it! i had a 3 speed Stingray, no fun when the gear slipped-i learned about my anatomy from that!

[@dbx1233]

Oh my gosh, I thought I fell back to 1974, my Junior High School days, I was loving it and I was not ready to move forward to our present day. Thanks for a great video.

[@mooncricket]

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@lilchevy401]

i love your bikes

[@paulanger2048]

Man. I have wanted one of those bikes forever. So has everyone else. That's why they are so expensive! Stingrays!

[@that70sschwinn]

Pretty cool event and great classic Schwinn Cruisers

[@slicksnewonenow]

Wow...what kool rides! When I was a kid, I had a purple Huffy five speed Banana bike... I can't remember what model name those were called. Anyway, I miss it. Now, I have what I like to call a "Phony Phantom"... It's a '96 Schwinn Deluxe Seven in black n red, but it's all dressed-out in Fifties period accessories... Just exactly what I wanted as a kid, but never did own. Now I'm 55 and in my second childhood!😂 It's great to see y'all enjoying yourselves. Cheers

[@mooncricket]

Very nice I would love to see that

[@billsmith2041]

I think the Sting Ray....is by far the most iconic line of bicycles . Classic styling, and one can still easily afford to find them as project bikes.

[@mixflip]

My uncle has been building and restoring old schwinns for decades. He probably has10 classics hanging in his man cave. Im 40 now and I want a Stingray!!!

[@mickiez40oz]

I love your Sting-Ray shirts. Guys at the shop I was working at back around 98' had similar ones, but I was lowest part-timer on the totem pole and so I didn't get one. Nice windshield on that Lemon Peeler. Now that's a rare accessory.

[@XretrokingX]

Enjoyed this video a ton. I have a co-worker by the name of Jeff that loves Schwinns and many other brands. We only get to work summers and this cat is all about his old skool cos he grew up during the muscle bike era and I gotta tell ya he will dig this. Myself being younger I grew up with Haro, GT, Auburn, Powerlite, and SE American and 1 Special Schwinn XS custom from '96 when the Foster brothers made Schwinn a household name again in the BMX world. Jeff if you find this video it yours.=)

[@IrieSociety]

Met one of the guys from this crew at Jimmy's old car picnic. I dig the bikes bro!

[@MegaJackpot180]

wish they sold stingrays in the UK they look great

[@2dope4ya1970]

VERY DOPE VIDEO!!! Love these Schwinn bikes! Nice impression with R2D2, breakdancin' and in the background San Francisco... I've enjoyed every minute of this video! Also nice selection of music in the vid... BIG UP from The Netherlands! Hetto, Keytown Cruiser...

[@Schwinn_Addiction]

great video. awesome bikes

[@mooncricket]

Thank you

[@RCrooklyn]

This is the best vid I've seen in quite some time. You just made my day. Now I'm floating in the clouds, wishing I was on my bike instead of at work. Peace.

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

You guys are having waaaay too much fun. BTW, I have a blue 67' Stingray Deluxe with a two speed kickback ;)

[@palletjack612]

Nice going! Wish I could come ride with you guys. Keep the faith.

[@sadame1414]

Those r some really nice krates!! Nice

[@zaj58]

i dig this!

[@irocitZ]

The Lemon peeler is my favorite out of the bunch, it's got some cool accessories like the checker flag mirror and windshield. All nice bikes though.

[@WizzRacing]

I had so many Stingrays growing up they were common as trees. My last one was Green with the rear SISI bar. They got broken or bent by hitting limbs or someone grabbing them most the time. Then as time went on people started putting sprung front ends on them and stretching the forks. Frame mounted shifters, etc..

[@notokey7829]

I liked the one with the extended fork

[@Kevin-ev7hw]

Love the Krates. I had a raehly 3 speed Chopper back in the 70s growing up. I loved that bike.

[@quickdrawmcgraw6396]

nice!

[@JohnnieDorman77]

When I first heard about "San Francisco Stingrays," I said to myself, "how do they ride Stingrays in a town that's so full of steep hills?" I guess there are some relatively level spots in SF, according to what I saw in the video, anyway. I own nine Stingrays, the years, 63, 65, 67, two 73's, one of which is a Sunset Orange Krate, a 74, an 81, a 99 Country Time, made by Giant Bicycles, and a 2007 Black Friday, made in China, I customized into a chopper, and I customized the 99 into a dragster.

[@mayanking213]

Gorgeous Bikes, still trying to build my frames!

[@JohnnieDorman77]

Yes, the Grape Krate is a repo. Some of the early Grape Krates were made in Taiwan, and then the rest were made in China. Pretty sure about that, anyways. You can tell by looking at the goose necks. Yes, the original Grape Krates are very rare, so are the black ones.

[@schwinnstingrayguy3757]

Johnnie Dorman they never made original ones so there not rare! They don't exist

[@JenHansonJenU1Entertainment]

love

[@mooncricket]

Thank you

"Making bikes great again"

[@RobMacKendrick]

I rode a Spider. Fairly different from the one in this video, but totally awesome, as they all were. How cool were my parents for giving me that for my birthday?

[@RUBIZEN]

I was born in '71 so for me there are 3 types of bike from my childhood: 1. I'll call them banana seat bikes, some people call them muscle bikes. Big rear tire, banana seat and ape hanger bars .2. "dirt bikes". I use that term for bikes that came from the factory made to look like an off road motorcycle. Knobby tires, big padded seat, plastic fenders, shit some even had fake gas tanks and rubber fork protectors. I hardly ever see these.3. BMX bikes. Of course you all know these. No fenders, knobby tires, and as light at possible.

[@zudemaster]

I'd love to have one hanging in my gameroom!

[@bassman1154]

fuck yes!

[@Jmmyjames666]

Do you guys still meet? I am located on the peninsula and would love to meet up with some other krates. I still have my original 72 Orange krate. I have owned it since 1977.

[@nnazem]

shit man, i'm from the schwinn capital! chicago!!! i'll bring my 3 speed up apple krate to san fran one day just to ride with y'all.

[@mooncricket]

Some of the bikes there do have the Speedometer. These are the original bikes but some people might of had broken speedopemeters or still looking for that for their final part if missing. Tomorrow is Classic Pedal day in San Francisco. 11AM in front of the Ferry building same as in this video.

[@trumpetmaris]

My fav is the bat holder... could always come in handy in the city... What's your web site, don't see it in the comments. I'm in the East Bay and would like to be a part of this. My first bike was a stingray with gear lever!

[@TC-ep5up]

Love these old school American classics. In fact, I just a few weeks ago bought an original 1966 Schwinn Sting Ray 5-speed. But where did they get the names of the key components for these bikes? ie, "butterfly" handlebars (as in, that dainty/beautiful insect that floats around in the air), "banana seat" (as in, sitting on a banana), "sissy bar" (as in, a hangout for, well, you know what).

[@TC-ep5up]

Then again, all of that applies to chopper motorcycles as well.

[@jpwsml]

Sweet, Check out my Bike Show day video, lots of Sting Rays!

[@danconlan64]

Grape Krate ? I have 1963 1/2 I restored never heard of Grape Krate

[@50sChevyKING]

where do you get parts

[@mikereyes5468]

does anyone know what kind of bike the green one is, with the long forks? any pedal days coming up in the future???

[@paulanger2048]

I want to know too. I think it's a Western flyer ram rod. I want to know how long the forks are.

[@campsecxxi7448]

CALIFORNIA >

[@jimmielong2748]

1970 I was ten I don't remember the two bikes name anymore but this bike look like one of these twins but the banana seat but it had a steering wheel instead of handlebars is my memory correct?

[@robertwesker504]

[@designmike2003]

Love your videos. I used to live in the bay area. Wish I could ride around SF with you guys. I got a 69 stingray, a 68 runabout turned into a mini 5 speed fenderless, a 67 schwinn midget, a 67 panther, and a bunch of other bikes that arent as cool.
