Happy Birthday, Sting-ray

The Schwinn Bicycle Company began producing the Sting-Ray 50 years ago on June 1, 1963.
The sporty two-wheeler with butterfly handlebars and a banana seat became a national sensation.
700,000 were sold by 1968.
From 1963 to 1981, Schwinn marketed the bike like a sports car to teens too young to drive.


If you fondly recall those golden days, you are old!
