One of my childhood characters I grew up with has passed away. It reminded me of this episode of “Diff’rent Strokes,” about Arnold wanting a bicycle.

Yes, this episode was about a child molester bicycle shop owner, but re-watching it I focused on some of the more bicycle related issues. Such as how bad Arnold wanted a bicycle and how even rich Mr. Drummond didn’t have any place to store a bicycle in his fancy NYC apartment.
Man, this is so sad… We all grew up watching Gary Coleman in ‘Diff’rent Strokes’.

Whatchu’ talkin’ bout Willis… Rest in Peace Gary.
Having recently gotten one that same bike, I was most amazed at the color. I never saw a red Mongoose from that era before or since.
