About this Story
Green Freedom
For my 14th birthday in 1980, I received the perfect gift from my parents: a green Schwinn 12-speed “Continental Varsity” bicycle. This bike signified freedom for me. My friends and I would cover at least 20 miles every day during those sunny summer breaks and it was our transport to school. At university, the bike became my primary mode of transportation, aiding me in traversing the far-reaching Ohio State campus. I sincerely hope today's kids experience the joy and liberation biking provides, not to mention the bonus of exercise.
