My first bike was a Raleigh BMX, I got it when i was 7. It was stolen from a playground.
My second bike was a Lotus Odyssey...between the Lotus and the Raleigh, I rode my dad's old Raleigh Sports, and thus acquired my hatred for IGH and three speed bikes of that nature. I was hit by a fed ex truck when I was 16...damaging the frame.
My third bike was a Specialized Sirrus, bought with the money from the Lotus incident. I took it to college with me where it was stolen after being locked up outside overnight. Stupid mistake on my part.
My fourth bike was a Cannondale that an LBS provided when I rode for them briefly. I returned it when I left for college. I was happy never riding it again.
My fifth bike was a Miyata 914, bought it used. I had it in college and for several years afterwards. I sold it prior to moving back home. LOVED that bike.
