Baby Boomers Embrace The Beach Bicycles Lifestyle
Many baby boomers have fond memories of growing up in a more leisurely, relaxed, and much less technical environment. They can remember biking to school, locking their bikes in the front yard of the school house, then riding back home with friends after the school day was over. Weekends might include biking to the ball ground or park for a day of fun and simple pleasure that boomers look back upon with so much fondness. In many respects, the bicycles that provided a lot of their transportation are a big part of those memories. Many recall having what were later dubbed "beach bicycles". In many ways, the evolution of the bikes mirrors the lives of the baby boomers.
Most boomers can't help but look back on these earlier times with affection as their days in the working world begin to slow down. Many are looking forward to starting the next phase of their lives while they are still healthy and active. In many ways, the boomers and the bikes are coming full circle.
At one time these bikes were a part of the overall fabric of people's everyday lives. Paper boys rode them to deliver papers on their early morning routes. With their wide tires and comfortable seats, they made even the most strenuous jobs easier to do. Some young people were lucky enough to find themselves owner of specialty bikes outfitted with animated characters popular at the time.
As time went on, boomers become involved in their careers, their professional goals, and raising families with very little time left over for personal recreation. Lives became more completed and technical as many people struggled to become recognized and rewarded in their chosen occupations.
