Experience two-wheeled freedom all over again with shazbazzar and JediShua as they gear up for a 77-minute bike ride.
A bicycle was more than a frame with two wheels; it was a ticket to freedom. The TechnoRetro Dads have your ticket to ride with bikes, video games, and cyclistastic movies like Breaking Away, American Flyers, and Quicksilver.
Whether it was your first Bike, a Bicycle Race, a Huffy, Murray, Kent, or Free Spirit, kids loved and lived on their bikes in the ‘70s and ‘80s and we all remember taking off the training wheels, sliding into skids, popping wheelies, and telling Mom to “Look! No hands!” It’s all about bicycles this week, EarBuds!
We Love Our Cereal

Let’s All Go to the Movies…on our bikes!
Whether it was Breaking Away, American Flyers, BMX Bandits, Rad, or Quicksilver, the pedals pushed the gears to the limits in some fun and memorable movies from the ‘70s and ‘80s featuring bicycles.
Toys in the Attic
We remember riding our bikes in the driveway, around the block, at the playground, the park, and even down to the crawdad hole.
TechnoRetro Arcade
Bikes are for fun. And they’re even fun at the arcade (if yours doesn’t get stolen when you’re inside shoving quarters in the machines). Sometimes, even simulating working on your two-wheeler in the classic Paperboy cabinet.
