Bill setting out for school from home to Knox at Wahroonga

On my Bike with a Boater and off to school! I just remembered the bike was a Rambler. I rode it everywhere, to Bobbin Head for swims, to Newtown, (with Robert StClair) to buy parts for a one valve radio, to Mrs Macquarie's Chair in the Botanic Gardens, and on many tracks in the bush around Turramurra and Wahroonga.. 17-04-13 It was heavy! It really needed 10 gears , not the three in the Sturmey Archer hub, considering all the steep dirt tracks I climbed, but then, that would have meant a lot of work cleaning and lubricating. The old school tie! and the Old en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_gear gears....

Roberto41144 we all look like dorks in those days.. Even with what we thought was a cool bike.. Mine had Sturmey Archer gears too, it was a bit of a disappointment for Xmas, as I had expected to get chain gears like my mate.. I had never heard of hub gears. Actually the gift came with no gears and was returned to the shop for the gears, so I had to wait longer for Xmas, and then it came with a mismatched coloured wheel..
