    Schwinn Cross bikes ,The original Hybrid

    It’s hard to believe these bikes are close to thirty years old . I think I’ve been lucky to find two of these great riding bikes . I have a CrissCross and a CrossCut . Both have been overhauled with new wheels, gears, and brakes . The cranks and chainrings are original.

    Rat Rod Drag Races ??

    I've heard of bike racing on the road or touring , BMX, racing at the velodrome, even Xgames , but I haven't found anything about bike drag racing . It seems RatRods would be perfect for this. Maybe single speeds only on a 1/4 mile track . Or have different classes with a multi- geared class...
