My folks got me a Huffy 12 speed for my 16th birthday- never rode it much, I was a runner in HS and we lived on a big hill. I often wonder if my bike journey would have been different if I'd had a nicer first road bike but I eventually ended up at a good place and I certainly don't pine for that Huffy lol. You made a wise choice
Murray Missile keep building memories with that garage full of lovely bikes,
