A Varsity would have smashed up the truck pretty good. They ran about 40 pounds.

“10-speed bike...schwinn varsity...”

Good point. I had one of these in the 60’s. It must have been an older model street bike. The models I’ve seen today are either 3x7 or 3x8, not 2x5.

that was my question, i would think a guy on a ten speed wouldnt be much of a threat, its those tweeked out fixed gear riders you need to be worried about!

“Bike must have been a Schwinn Varsity”

I’m thinking Schwinn Continental...It’s more worldy and sophisticated sounding.
