You might try heating it up a little, and be careful not to tweek the goose neck!

Interesting thing about the old bike hobby is there are collectors that are all about Schwinn and little else, and there are collectors that are interested in everything but Schwinn. Well Schwinn guys, here's a place to hang your hat and maybe let loose of some of those trade secrets!
My first bicycle was a mid-1950s Schwinn American "middleweight" with the 2-speed Bendix coaster hub and gearshift that looked like a brake lever. I soon "graduated" to road bikes, but about 15 years ago I rediscovered fat-tired Schwinns of a different sort. :) My current most-used ride is my 1988 Project KOM-10 mountain bike, not only red-white-and-blue, but also purchased from a San Diego fire fighter. It usually gets noticed on 4th of July parades, such as this one from 2019, with Grandpa trying to keep up with his two grandsons.

Some of those Mini Coopers are pretty quick and I've been surprised a few times when racing against them.

Is the parachute strapped to your back and precautionary thing for steep downgrades when your haulin? I see the rip cord is attached to the handlebar. :tonguewink:
 
That "rip cord" is a "photo bomb" from the dog leash next to me. :)
The "parachute" is my trusty yellow Camelbak Mule, a very considerate Fathers Day 2014 present from my elder son, the father of the two boys.
