My first bike was a Free Spirit with styling influences from a Schwinn Stingray. Banana seat, apehangers, and the unfortunate color choice for a boys bike of powder blue with clouds on the chain guard. Not sure who made that decision. But I learned to ride on it and rode it all over the neighborhood. It got used and abused cause both younger brothers treated it like an off-road BMX and kinda turned it into one. Dad sold it at a garage sale about 10 years ago for $5 or $10.

First bike-shop bike was a Schwinn World that was a 15th birthday gift. First bike I bought for myself was a Huffy Jackyl MTB that came out of the JCPenney catalog. I worked at one of the local JCP stores, so I got an employee discount on it and knew how to finish the assembly process. First bike purchased as an adult was a Haro Flightline Sport MTB. And I am currently looking for another ride, or may transform the Jackyl into something else.
