The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread

[BigPiney]

I fell asleep during episode 3 and now MJ is finishing it without me because I’m busy with work. Maybe I’ll finish watching it once it gets cancelled.

We would expect nothing less.

Strangers Things 3 is fantastic and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

Yep!

I watched (and enjoyed) Season 1 but didn't see all (or most) of S2. Can I start Season 3 without playing catch-up?

No.. but then again. I watched the last 6 episodes of Breaking Bad before I watched the entire show.. <Shrugs>

Rumors are season 4 will be the last.

Gosh, I hope so. Do it right, Netflix!

It don't remember it being cool to ride a girl's bike in the 80's.

This is what I rode in the early 80's:

My dad bought it for me while we were visiting my grandparents in Nephi. I remember thinking it was awesome, until I brought it home and showed my friends. They called it a girl's bike

Damn, the 80's were messed up.

Did that bike have two different sized tires? It looks like the back tire is thicker than the front.

Now that you mention it, I think it did. I was mostly impressed by the hand brakes. First time I ever had them.

That bike is flipping sweet.

Typically there was only one hand brake on those stingrays (I had two stingrays as a kid as they go back to the late sixties and early seventies and were designed, I think, to mimic the very popular "chopped hog" Harleys of the motorcycle world). The cable on the right hand grip is attached to a shifter for the three speed hub. The rear brake was a coaster brake (reverse pedaling activated). The left hand grip has the brake lever with cable to the front brake. Some of them had different size or style of tires. I had a Scwhinn from about 1969 0r maybe 1970 that had a large slick tire on the rear and a small 20" wheel and tire on the front. The coolest bike ever.

I had the similar model, albeit a few years earlier, around 1976. There were three points of ridicule. 1) the banana seat, 2) the lack of a hand break (which looks like it's on yours-mine was a 1 speed though), and 3) no metal bar connecting the two sides of the handle bars, making it look like a motorcycle.

It was rough growing up then. Such a cool bike, reduced to trash because of appearance. The worse my kids ever got was having to go to school with a <gulp> flip phone.

Stingrays debuted around the time I was 11 (that would be 1963-4) and it was THE bike to have. But my Depression-era parents thought Scwhinns were an overpriced waste of money so they surprised me by buying a similar seat (banana seats, I believe they were called) and raised handlebars to go on the clunky paperboy bike I'd inherited from my brother. And then they really rubbed salt into my youthful wounds by adding handlebar grips with those long tassels that would fly about as I pedaled along. Great, with the added tassels I was going from being laughed at to having the snot beat out of me. Fortunately, the tassels mysteriously came out of the grips and could not be located. Still, instead of an ubercool Stingray I was pedaling a major dorkcycle. No wonder that I didn't take up cycling again until I was 50.

If by dork, you mean didn't ride girl's bikes, then yes, you are correct.
