As kid in the 70s I remember how Helter Skelter rocked middle class suburbia and people really came to fear longhairs. And the Hell's Angels and the incident at the Rolling Stones Altimont concert didn't help either. : I grew up and starting growing my hair in the 1960s. I was one : of those hippies. What gave hippies a bad name was the : anti war movement. : People didn't come to fear hippies. : I was living in Wisconsin at the time and the Manson murders : barely caused a ripple. Neither did Altimont. : : When it comes to machismo I stopped ridding bicycles about 30 years ago after a Saturday night live cartoon that portrayed bicyclists as gay. Well now I'm battling diabetes and weight issues. : I stopped riding my bicycle in the 1980s, too many : lunatics on the road. Also around here the Ghost Bike : has gotten alot of exposure. (the ghost bike is to : memorialize the many bicycle riders killed in motor vehicle : accidents. )
