Good thing Jimmy has a a big brother because he apparently has no parents. I once had a kid come out right in front of me on a bike, I was 20 or so att, it scared the crap out of me. The kid's dad was there just after the cops. The boy was not hurt, thank goodness, but looked to be in trouble with dad. The front wheel of his bike was no longer circular too.

Did anyone else notice that they didn't strap the kid onto the stretcher before moving him and loading him into the wagon?

@Billy: No helmet, no knee & elbow pads, and where's the obligatory spandex today's riders require? It's a wonder he survived!

Is it me or did it seem that Billy's bicycle received no visible damage - bent wheels or frame?

@KDP: Back then bikes were built Schwinn Tough!
