My first pedal bike in 1982 or so was a silver Schwinn with black handlebars. I looked up the model once but I forget... I was five. My grandad traded out the crankset for a shorter one. I rode it until I got a Murray 18-speed 24" MTB. I guess it was really only "my" bike for about five years but it feels like longer... everything feels consequential to a little kid.

"Well, well!" said Holmes, impatiently. "A good cyclist does not need a high road. The moor is intersected with paths and the moon is at the full."
