  John has an intimidating presence! I'd move off too if I was in a group of 10 construction workers, and John walked up and smiled!!!  Dam!!!

BTW Steve, I reckon I bought my Apollo 10speed in 1971 or 1972 in Lethbridge with money from delivering flyers.  Seems to me I paid $90 or $100.  Later in 1973 I got my first hourly part time job in that same bicycle shop.  $1.10/hr I seem to recall.  Bert&Macs Cycle, Canada’s oldest Suzuki dealer as well.  They also sold CanAms and Skidoos as well as hockey equipment.

  Very cool!   I bought my Apollo Sport Ten in 1976, from White Rock Bicycle Shop, just south of 16th avenue on Johnston, just down the hill on the right. $127. It's near mint even after my crash last spring. Even has the original seat. Same model as this pic, mine id light blue:   https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds/bik/d/delta-central-apollo-sport-10/7543227163.html

   Also have this bike: https://classicjapanesebicycles.com/maruishi/

    Also a 1964 Raleigh 5 speed Brooks.
 
   And my trusty 1990 Marin Bear Valley.

Yup same Apollo as mine.  I ditched the fenders.  Mine was a fine metallic mauve colour.  It got stolen from school one day in winter.  I followed the tracks in the snow and found it in a lane quite a ways from school.  Do damage.  Luckily there was a inch of fresh snow.

I am looking for some reading material to get me through the winter.
If anyone has old issues of vintage bike magazines to pass along please bring a few to Wednesday coffee.
Thanks a lot
