The Brady Bunch

[Monark52]

They are airing reruns of The Brady Bunch in my area. I set the DVR to record some episodes so I could see what kind of bikes they had. Well it turns out that they all rode bare bones Western Flyers. I guess with 6 kids they really couldn't afford to buy them all Schwinns!

I forget, What time frame were they portraying?

I believe it ran from 1969-1974. The father drove a nice Barracuda convertible in the show too.

Since Jan wouldn't wear her glasses there was no sense in buying her a nice bike to crash into the trash cans.

Another show from that era or perhaps a bit later was the Waltons ( goodnight Maryellen, Goodnight JohnBoy)........they were portraying the late 30s or early 40s. I don't remember the bicycles but there were some pretty cool early motorcycles on the show.

Not to mention it would have also wrecked her braces.
