Christmas 1967! It was a blue Schwinn Stingray that dad had bought from a rental outfit. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but I've never stopped riding. The Stingray became a BMX bike before the term was invented. The frame broke when I was 15. The parts were scattered to the wind, including a half-assed attempt to make a Varsity into a mountain bike before that term was invented.

I'll have to dig out pictures. Godspeed A23817, wherever you are.
