[Closed] What was your first bike you remember?

This . . . . still got a scar from when I fell of it once!

First two wheeler was a puch mini sprint in purple.

I had a little red fixie thing I got 2nd hand from my cousin. The bars were protruding past the end of the grip and the first days I rode it without stabilisers I ran along the side of our neighbour's car and scratched a couple of feet of paint off it.
First one I remember being bought was a Raleigh Tomahawk

I had one of these bad boys in black with a Blakes 7 sticker

A Raleigh Chopper. 8)

RSW 8 for me !

I had a Strika identical to dogbert's...

A singlespeed hardtail with dual crown forks, I was niche yo.

I remember this one well 🙂

Purple Raleigh Tomahawk (little chopper) - the bike not me!

Had a green thing before that but no idea what it was.

Raleigh Cougar was my first big bike, ie, without stabalisers.

Raleigh Activator I was my first 26" wheel bike. Elastomer suspension FTW!

First 3 wheeler was Raleigh Lion trike.
My dad had a pole with a hook on the end which he used to catch the rear axle if I pedalled too fast downhill in Heaton Park!

First two wheeler was a purple Tomahawk.
Everyone had Raleighs, I didn't know other makes existed 'till I was about 8.

A Raleigh Budgie.

It was great fun 🙂

There was one before it, but this is the one I remember.

Smaller front wheel than back way before these 69ers.......high five super niche

Purple Raleigh Tomahawk

Me too! (not mine- although I'm sure my parents will have some photo's somewhere)

Double post, sorry.

Very steep head angle on that Chippy OMITN, not great for downhill I'd imagine!

Those old skool BMX's look great - sadly I'd moved on to road bikes and trackers by then and missed out.

My first road bike was one of these

Raleigh Medale, I could wheelie this for about 100 yards!

I've no idea what it was called, but it was yellow and purple, and had solid rubber tyres.

I still remember the jarring feeling riding over anything bigger than a poppy seed 🙂

Think I ended up using the wheels to make a go-kart.

A Raleigh Tomahawk

An Elswick Hopper and the once I'd wrecked it and it had sat in the garden for a year or so my next bike was the same frame re fitted as a 'racer'!

........ my dad didn't tell me till many years after!

and it had a "pedal-back brake" - I was the best skidder in the street!
