My first bike wasn't a Huffy (that distinction goes to some tiny little clunker - now painted pink and purple to accomidate my kid sister - that my folks found at a garage sale), but my second bike was. And I still ride it!

It's a little BMXish sort of bike, painted a lovely green-blue, and it has white tires. When I discovered that parking at the University of Minnesota was less than ample, I started stuffing the little bike in the trunk so I didn't have to walk the half mile or more to class on the days that I drove. My knees would hit my chest as I rode, so I made the addition of an 18-inch seatpost. I look really goofy riding it. It's great!

The bike's not worth much (read anything), but it's a great little bike, and I wouldn't give it up. Besides, even if it is a Huffy kid's bike, it's a Huffy kids bike from the days when the bike still weighed less than the kid. I'm not sure, but I don't think they make those anymore.
