No musical group embodied the essence of the 1970s quite like the runaways. Despite still being in their teens, the group represented the nation's evolving social attitudes and free spirit. 

That spirit is front and center in this 1976 photoshoot on a closed Glendale Freeway for Choppers Magazine. 

"This five-piece group... seems to express in their music the same recurring themes that have followed biker crusades over the decades."

Posing on bikes directly in front of exit 210 toward Angeles Crest Highway, the Runaways look ready to mount up, Rock and Roll, and Drive us Wild.
