Must have been about 6 when I got my first bike and I didn't get my first car until I was 27. I am now 64 so 58 years on a bike.
Bikes of note:
- Schwinn one speed with baskets for newspapers. Riding that thing up hills helped me develop cycling legs
- Three speed in high school and college
- Raleigh Super Course in college
- Schwinn Paramount when I graduated college. Didn't last long but that is another story
- Masi GC in graduate school and another 1 speed that I paid $10 and used as my commuter.
- Postdoc commuter was a Le Tour. That first winter in Salt Lake City I decided a car might be a good idea.
- Pinarello F8.
- BTW I sold the Masi earlier this year for three times what I paid for it new in 1976.
