The game's question
Watch the bike take shape in your mind first, then say its name out loud.
1969. In the playground and along the street, one bicycle made every child stop and stare. It had big handlebars and a small front wheel, and it looked like nothing else on the road. Its maker was Raleigh. What was this famous bike called?
One name to find, said out loud together
Need a hint?
The name is also a word for a small axe, or for someone who chops wood. Who had one in your street, and who only dreamt of it?
