Re: What was the first bike you ever had, your childhood bik
the first bike i remember was a yellow chipper,its what my dad taught me to ride on way back when.dyna-ti":t39jqw78 said:Raleigh ChipperYellow
It was bought 2nd hand for me and i rode it to death. It came with us when we moved back to Scotland and i think i was using it aged about 9(45 now) when it was alas stolen
Thankfully it was recovered, but when we went to collect it my Dad was told it was an absolute death trap
Once ,while out on it roaming about i decided to go to a large outdoor shopping arcade that had ramps running right through it and was superb for bombing down
Off i went but to my horror as i approached the last ramp going full tilt that it wasnt a ramp at all it was instead a flight of concrete stairs about 12 high. Naturally ,i didnt realise it was a staircase till i was right at the very top of it and flew off it.
The police kept the bike and i didnt get another till 1992

Not strictly relevant I suppose but firstly I had a ‘Black Knight’ tricycle, with a picture of an armoured chap for the headbadge. It was red, a fact that puzzled me at the time as I remember.
Then it must have been Shanks’ pony for a bit because I remember getting a Pavemaster for my seventh birthday. It was the cycling equivalent of Startrite shoes. As I remember it had twin top tubes, white tyres and a stoplight. A fabulously camp machine; I still don’t miss it.

I'm amazed people can remember their very first bike names, I haven't a clue I just member they all seamed to come in browny red, had three speeds and were complete and utter rubbish, maybe it wasn't browny red paint but rust
