1st
1978-ish
A 3rd or 4th hand, solid tyred, red thing with a chopper-esque "seat" which I did untold mileage on during the school holidays. My regular run was from Maryhill to the pond in Kelvingrove Park and back, twice a day.... plus a heavy pinch of scooting about in between.
2nd
1980 or 81
An Elswick Hopper Folding Shopper, which probably just about bankrupted my Mum at the time. It just about killed me too because, as a very slight 9 year old, lifting a bike this heavy up to a "Tap-Dancer" (Glaswegian for top floor flat) was really not safe!
It looked like this one...
3rd 1984
A Peugeot BMX that I had lusted after in the Peugeot car showroom I walked past on the way to school every morning. It was Red, yellow and black in the colours of my favourite football team. Dont think it was high end, which was just as well as I was never going to win a BMX competition of any kind! Trying to find a pic...
