...week, but he followed me and gave me a line I fell for, so I went back with him. He grabbed my hair, so I kicked him between the legs-boom! He called in another guy and they took my clothes off. They began to heat up this coat hanger with matches and burn my ass with it. Then the pimp put his foot on my face and stomped it. I figured, well, you've got to take some bad things in life."

Demand rose to new heights in the mid-1960s with the introduction of high-risers -those small-wheeled children's bikes with elongated "banana" seats, tall "ape-hanger" handlebars, and moderate $30-$50 price tags. Then an adult bike boom ballooned, and demand shifted to lightweight ten-speed racers that start at around $85 and range upward into used-car prices: $475 or more. Bicycle-company spokemen say that this year, for the first time since the 1890s, nearly one-half of all bicycle production is geared...
