First Bicycle Christmas Memory of 1917

A narrator recalls a magical Christmas when at age 11 he received an Overland bicycle with racing handlebars a fleece seat and a siren. He describes dawn rides with friends neighbors races with girls and curb jumps all while cherishing the joy of that gift and praying before sleep for such happiness.
