What were the typical bicycles that kids and adults used during the early 1960s for casual biking?

Origin

Answer
In the early 60's where I live, most kids would have been riding some form of 3 speed bike with upright seating and 26" wheels. At that time department stores sold decent quality bikes. Eaton's department stores sold the Glider line which was basically a re badged Raleigh. CCM was a big seller in Canada at the time and they made very sturdy long lasting bikes, much like Schwinn in the US. If your parents had money you might be riding a Raleigh Sports or even a Superbe. English 3 speeds were lighter and nicer to ride than CCM's. Other department stores also sold bikes, Mine was a J C Higgens made in Holland. It was ok but it was no Raleigh. Huffy and Schwinn bikes were almost unknown in Canada at the time
