My Mam had one, it had a bit of an accident at the BMX track! I don't know how it happened? Don't ask me!

Not the strongest of frame designs to be jumping on, but why not, it's a bike after all!

I wouldn't know, I wasn't even there! That story has held up for 40 years, I'm not changing it now.

BITD the feds wouldn't let you take your cycling proficiency test on a Raleigh Chopper because they were so unstable. As a result I had to borrow one of these for the test, sky blue paint and smothered in flower decals. I was left deeply traumatised.

Maybe it was your skills that were lacking? Took mine on a purple MKIi. Still got the badge.

There are some who search out the shoppers and folders because a SA hub is a SA hub. That rock solid 3 speed can be re laced into something klunkier...

Nowt's changed.. they wouldn't let my kid take his because his BMX only had one brake, to add insult to injury they tightened his sloppy helmet so tight "i couldn't breathe!"
