Parents bought me a Schwinn Sting-Ray when I was about 7 years old. Then it was a 3-speed Collegiate, 5-speed Collegiate, Le Tour III, Superior, Paramount, Paletti, Mondia, Lightning recumbent, Gary Fisher Hoo-Ke-Ee-Koo, Tour Easy, Easy Racers Gold Rush, Schwinn LeTour single-speed, Steelman fixie, Bianchi Alloro, Fort 2x1000 'cross bike... I've probably forgotten a few. I also had a 12-year career in the bicycle business, which resulted in me meeting my wife.
