Your Very First Bike

[Zen]

Mine was from Sears and Roebuck. I was kid sized, blue and red. I had these weird hard tires on it that didn't even hold air. I don't know what they were. It didn't take long to get over that and I started pedalling my sisters big bike, standing all the time 'cause I could reach either the seat or the pedals - it was one or the other. Seeing my need for a bike, my parents bought me a...wait for it.............HUFFY! It had the tank thing where you put batteries in for a headlight and a rack on the back for passengers. It was blue but soon painted white. I longed for a schwinn stingray but no, I never did get the cool stuff.
