That's how it starts.

That is me in the front and my sister, brother and local bully at it again. I want a way back machine.

Oh man these need to come back. I had one with a squirt gun built in to the handle bars

1977?

Look at the shading on the pavement and that particular foliage there.

Looks more like 1976 to me.

I’m not sure.is the AMC Eagle in the background new at the time of this photo? It could be 1980.

Whoah, that's actually an excellent observation. There was an AMC dealer a few blocks from our house back then ; the Eagle was weird in how tall it was off the ground. Of course I wanted one. Never got one, of course...

Close, the kid in the foreground is wearing 1983 Nike Air Pegasus sneakers. The kid furthest back is driving a 1983 Knight Rider Power Cycle.

If you enlarge the photo you'll notice on the tree trunk, the guy is looking at a "Titmouse Upside-down Nuthatch" with a hooked beak which, in June of 1977, have been documented as now nonexistent in most of the world with the exceptions of the Lake Baikal petroleum sanctuary and certain areas of Mongolia...so I'm going to go with 1977.

I'd guess 80's by the clothes and hair. 1983 or 1984.

I miss my Big Wheel days. The seventies were fun.

I thought they sucked at the time, but I miss 'em now!

I never had a Big Wheel when I was a kid. But, my little sister had one. By that time I was too big to ride it. I had to put my legs OVER the steering handles and I couldn't peddle. So, I'd just get on and coast down the big hill near my house.
Of course, there was no way to stop it. It was a death machine. I probably crashed 50 times doing at least 30 mph.
We'd play a game called "race the tire". Where, you'd roll a tire down the hill and you'd have to try and beat it. The person on the big wheel would need a head start because you aren't going to beat the tire if you both start at the same time. So, we'd time the release of the tire when the big wheel got a certain distance down the hill.
The funny thing about that is, the wheel would catch up and then you get hit by a tire bouncing down the hill at 30 mph. HILARIOUS!
Kids these days will never get to experience that.

We'd coast down this steep hill and wipe out at the bottom while trying to turn with the road. So much fun.

I loved my Big Wheel in the 80's more than I ever loved my bike.
