I had a two speed with a 'kickback' coaster hub when I was a kid. You would just do a quick and subtle pedal back to switch gears. Just not so hard that you engaged the coaster brake. It worked surprisingly well. I think Sachs made the hub.
I rode it out to Wreck Beach one day when I was about 9 yrs old, with my friends Brent and Stuart. It's our local nude beach and we were keen to see our first live boobiez. We left our bikes unlocked and when we came back mine was gone. The tracks in the dirt made it clear the thief had tried all three bikes and decided on mine. At least he had good taste.
The boobz were not worth losing my bike.
