Hello from Colorado!
Hi-another old fart or rather fartess! 
This is Susan from Northern Colorado.
Been riding bikes since I was 5 or 6 years old. I am almost 69. I am a casual rider- now I stick mostly to bike paths.
I can remember most all of them except the first 20" one I got in first grade & a beater English bike I bought in 1971 at a garage sale
1954 20" bike - blue
1957 or 1958 24" Rollfast - blue & white
1960's era English racer (possibly a Raleigh)3 speed bike (my first with hand brakes)- black
1972 CNC Special Ten Speed - white - lent to a friend and it was later stolen from her porch
Loved that bike!
1989 Trek Antelope 800 (stolen) ecru & blue
1995 Trek 820- blue/indigo (still have)
2010 Giant Cypress - metallic white (sold)
2017 Trek Neko 1 - "dark aquatic"

Welcome to the forums Susan, you have had your share of bikes, it's funny how they become a lifelong hobby/pursuit for some of us while the majority of the public never ride one after age 13.
