A friend of mine who is much older than I, had mentioned Whizzer bikes, said he had one as a kid. I'd never heard of them before that.
They look like an incredibly cool piece of American workmanship. I guess they didn't make much of a splash in my part of Canada. When I was a kid everyone was into big bikes.
So I looked at Whizzers for sale. The nicest, rarest ones are pushing 20K US. Bikes in good repair are several thousand. Wow, who would have thought they would command such a price?
