That would be the Peugeot that I left behind in a move. It got me through high school, college and grad school. Then I moved downtown, and left it locked to a radiator pipe in the basement of my uptown building.

I don't even know what kind of Peugeot it was. I certainly never did a thing to maintain it. In about 15 years of faithful service on city streets it never got a flat, and I never once even lubed the chain. What I remember is it was metallic gray with orange decals, it was as good as brakeless in the rain, and it cost about $240 new around 1982.
