When did the prototypical child's bike change from a balloon-tire cruiser to a chopper-type bike? It must have been while we were outside the US, because all the kids' bikes I recall from elementary school were cruiser types; I recall one little girl with a "Dale Evans" version in palomino colors with cowgirl fringes and rhinestones, while other luckier boys had the full-faux-gas-tank-and-horn models. My JC Higgins was a base model, but lasted for years -- I remember thrashing it age 15 or 16.
