Nertz's Bicycle?

All the time growing up, my mother and her sisters would come up with some odd expressions. One of the most memorable of the odd expressions was...."That's as bad as Nertz's Bicycle" or, "You know what that looks like? Nertz's Bicycle"

Apparently, a kid they grew up with, whom I assume bore the unfortunate name of "Nertz", had a bicycle that he had glammed up to the point that it looked crazy. All kinds of things attached to it. My Aunt Connie will have to explain in more detail in the comments.

Anyway, while trolling the web for T's new bicycle from "Santa" (aka as my parents or Aunt Dot), I came across this bicycle. My first thought...

Now there's a Nertz's bicycle!

Apparently, it even makes sounds when you ride it. Fabulous!

Yep, that looks like Nertz's bike but it is missing the coon tail. That's a must. Gotta have it. We called him Nertz but really never knew his real name. Don't know where he lived but he was always around on his decorated bike. Nertz was a little slow but a real nice guy.

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
