BMX/dirt bikes were definitely all the rage for kids around then.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I have one of these posters kicking around in the basement somewhere.

If it's a girl's bike you are writing about Paul, don't forget the streamers from the handlebars.
If it's a boy's bike, you could have baseball cards attached to the spokes of the wheels, so they make noise when you ride.

Abe's raised eyebrows caused furrows in his extended forehead. "Five in twelve hours?"
"Oh, and like you've never had a cranky day?"
