My mom, circa 1978-ish. She's going to be happy to see that I posted this picture online (not!)
If you notice, the bike she is sitting on has a steering wheel. For the longest time I thought that this was a custom addition by someone, but I have since found that it was produced in this form by Huffy in the late 60's - early 70's called "The Wheel" (catchy name).
I still have this bike, in a shed behind my mom's house. It's in pretty rough shape. One of these days, I need to pull it out and restore it.

Where in the world did you find that picture? Not totally unhappy; there are a lot worse pictures you could have posted.
As an update on the bike ... it actually was a custom addition by someone. Your Dad's Uncle Edgar in Rigby kind of tinkered around repairing bikes as a hobby, and he added the stirring wheel from a junkyard car just for a novelty.
