First bike had a plastic body-kit that made it look like a Ducati. I was ballin' outrageous. Wish I had a picture of it.

Wow, I learned to ride on a hand-me-down girl's bike that was my Mom's, step-through frame, single-speed with coaster brake. The first bike bought for me was a Sears 3-speed. When I got serious about riding, I graduated to a 10-speed Roadmaster Elite from the local hardware store.
Things got better when I bought my first bike for myself, a Sekai 2500 (great bike!).

Ditty.
Next was a slightly larger yellow geared huffy.
Then the Trek 820 (still in service... passed it on to the younger brother a few years back)
Followed by my dad's old Schwinn Sports Tourer 10 speed.
And it all went downhill from there...

I really want a BMX bike because I never had one growing up. I found a 26" cruiser at my LBS I want! To ride normally I'd need a ridiculously long seatpost though:
I remember kids in the neighborhood had "sweet" 20" bikes with gyros (probably from Walmart, actually). I don't know what I'd do with a 20" BMX but a cruiser could make a nice...well, cruiser.
