That is indeed me in the back of all the kids, on a family reunion holiday from Canada in 1976. Wow!!
They must have been rich in this street, i couldn't have a chopper when i was that age, i had a budgie and a second hand tomahawk in the late 70s , It took until the lockdown of 2020 before i got one , also bought a grifter and tomahawk for nostalgia also lol..
