Let's see your bike(s) when you were a kid!
Comon guys and guyzettes, cough up those dorky pics of your thrashed bikes way back when. Points awarded for the oldest pic. OK, I'll start. My brother and I with new RED Schwinns - 1961. (Hint, he's the goofy looking one)

I was going to say that film didn't exist in 1960, but the truth was we didn't have a camera to take a picture of the $5 orange and black 24" police auction special that was too big for me. We traded our neighbor that for his outgrown 20" Schwinn Spitfire.

Last day of school in the Madera Unified School District it was tradition to ride your bike to school.
I'm the one popping a wheelie on my American Eagle, my friend Scott had a wheelie bar on his Stingray. He could pop and hold a wheelie for a long time.

Come on! You all have more old pics to show. Here's proof that at age eight I was an 'English Racer' three speed hooligan even wearing 'clod-hopper' boots!
