Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Most people who grew up in Hollister got a Schwinn as their first bicycle. And, most likely it was bought from Muenzer's.

Hi Su'siee - I don't remember my first bicycle or tricycle, though I expect my brothers used them .. but the new ones and then I saved up .. I expect they were Raleigh bikes .. the British maker of the times.
Great post for S.
