Default What was your first bike?

What did you learn to ride on?

I had a 16" non coasting bike for awhile when I was 5 which I couldn't ride, training wheels or not.

Then one day my Dad decided to try giving me a shove on my sisters 26" bike. I did fine until I had to turn, but I eventually got it and by the end of that week, I was riding 26" bikes.

I'm not sure what it was, It was new in the late 60's, and it had two domed, side by side headlights and a small, fake tank between the top and bottom bars. (girls bike) It also had a pressed steel rack on the back and the bike was blue and white.

When I was 12-14, I had a 24" Roadmaster girls bike which I learned the fine art of long wheelies.
