What bikes did you have as a kid
Me, I had:
Raleigh Jeep
Raleigh Arena (Blue)
Raleigh Record Sprint
Always wanted the red Raleigh that mirrored the Tour de France Raleighs. Was it the Rapide?

Raleigh Commando - 3 gears which could be changed via the handgrip
Generic BMX - cheap bike compared to all my mates who had Mongoose etc but it was suprisingly light
Raleigh - 12spd race bike
that's it

Mum wouldn't buy me a bike - she bought me a pram instead. Then she hit the roof when she caught me with doll turfed out and using the pram as a go-kart!

My Dad gave me my first bike for my fourth Christmas and boy was I pleased? It took me 2 years to realise it was my Sister's old bike that he'd resprayed in the firm's bodyshop. Raleigh Commando next; what a machine?!
