-No kids had lights on their bikes back then, let alone all of them. At best they had a reflector and even those were iffy. Safety awareness to put on reflectors wasn't even a thing until the mid to late 80s.


I remember removing the reflectors that came on my BMX because those were for NERDS


Putting on reflectors was the bike equivalent of wearing a D.A.R.E pin on your shirt. Fucking SQUARE!

None of these look like what the kids had. Except a couple of the more "modern" models for '83 and who knows how much those were back then. They weren't flickering so they weren't pedal powered and holy shit remember how fast electric devices chewed through consumable (the only kind) batteries back then? Why are they all riding 10-20 year old bikes if their parents can afford that shit?

25 year old hipster set designer- "Well I've flipped through an 80s fashion catalog for the outfits. I think we're all done here? Oh yeah, appliances. Get a dial TV. Retro phones? Offices still use touch tones, so they can't be that old. Make them all rotary. The NES wasn't around then so there weren't any video games. Let's see, retro...retro...oh yeah, bikes! Retro bikes, like my limited edition 60s Schwinn Stingray remake! These kids are nerds, and nerds were always hip so they have bike lights like me. Let's show a little restraint though and not give them flashing light helmets. Let's see are we forgetting anything....oh yeah! Mad Men taught me that everyone smoked in public buildings back then. Done!"
