Bicycles from your childhood

[Sheriff Fatman]

Raleigh Commando, a poor kids Grifter.

Me too. Hated it. Wanted a Chopper and got this bloody heavy thing.

I remember my dad having these on his racer

I had one of these bad boys

This one is currently £1100 on ebay!

My friend got a Puch which seemed much cooler than my Raleigh. Christmas day my father refused to put peddles on mine until after dinner as he knew if we went out might not come back for dinner

[A57 the snake]

Can’t remember the name of the bike but it was from cowans bicycle’s On Hyde Road

 

[Marklr]

This will be a common one for many Bluemooners.

 

[Djibrilshairdo]

Raleigh Scorpio 5 speed racer. Practically rode it till the wheels fell off. I can tell matey in the pic those flares wouldn’t last 5 mins with that front cog. I don’t know what they were thinking with those mud guards?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

My first grown up bike was, I think, one of these:

Parents got it second hand as a Christmas present. I reckon I was about 10. I think I mainly wanted it because it was a car brand.

We also had a bike round my grandma's house than my granddad made. I can't imagine anyone doing that nowadays.
