I am pretty sure they had a particular name, like you would see on a chopper.
Answer
We called the monkey bars, which I think was just a derivative of ape hangers. Ape hangers is the motorcycle chopper term, as theirs are very high, with the hands above the head (impossible to ride like that for more then 10 minutes without the hands falling asleep). The popular term for stingrays in my neighborhood was "monkey bike" and the banana seat was called a "monkey seat" etc...
Baseball cards in the spokes...
Then there was making homemade choppers with by sawing the forks off another old bike and slip-fitting them onto the forks, and even surviving to tell the tale...

What was your favorite toy when you were a kid?
Q. I like the Easy Bake Oven and the Magna Doodle.
Answer
Barbie, etch a sketch, Puffalumps, Pound puppies, My little Pony, slinky, pogo ball, My buddy and Kid Sister dolls, Care bears, Cabbage patch kids, play-doh, Strawberry Shortcake, pick-up sticks, Legos, connect four, hoola hoop, Teddy Ruxpin, A realistic doll that I named Ashley, which was my favorite doll of all time- My brothers ended up shooting her with a bb gun, and her face shattered. It was such a violent end to such a loved doll. I also had lots of stuffed animals that my brothers would body slam when they were pretending to be Hulk Hogan or the Ultimate Warrior, and I used to love mad libs. They were always hilarious. Almost made me pee my pants a couple times. I also had a pink and white bike with a banana seat with a picture of a horse on the side that my dad had drawn. and my friend had a Kricket doll and a Barbie dream house with an elevator, and a Barbie Jeep, and a fake kitchen stocked with fake food and pots and pans and dishes, and also a tea set -- all of which I coveted.
