Probably took turns doubling home.
I had a similar blue single speed CCM, girls frame hand me down, but I drooled over the Duomatic a neighbour had.
After too many sweet jumps, the banana seat broke and I replaced it with a plain seat. Fifty years later and I just remembered the term “Sissy bar!”
After too many skids, the replacement tire from Crappy Tire was a “Tractor Grip.” It had cool white lettering.
I “ghost rode” it into the side of the school and bent the forks backwards. Luckily it still rode with the bars spun 180.
Thanks for the story, Cam!
