Growing up, I mostly had myself mongoose brand bikes. I had this awesome lime green bike that I think was stolen when I was a kid, no joke. I remember loving that bike a ton. Then I got my first mountain bike and the rest is history. Sadly I don’t remember the brand of the mountain bike, but I’m pretty sure it was a really cheap one from Walmart back in the day. So nothing too special. But it got me around back then, so I can’t complain.

Anyway, what was the first bike you ever owned?

First bike I ever owned was probably a Schwinn bike that my dad gave to me. He owned it when he was a kid and he let me have it when I was old enough. Surprisingly it was in great shape, so he took care of it all that time. Which is surprising, because kids rarely took care of their bikes back then.

Looking back, I might have owned 3 to 4 different bikes during my growing up years. But the first one will always have a special place in my heart. I remember I was not very confident riding for the first time. Balancing was a bit difficult for me. I had borrowed bike from a friend to get trained and my friend did help me a lot to overcome my fear. My father bought my first gearless bike when he was sure that I could ride on my own. I believe I was 12 year old then. The bike though was was a little bigger for my size. You can never imagine how excited I was on that day. I initially had to ask for help getting onto the bike. But as days passed and with experience and confidence, I could climb on to it by myself. I still cherish those days when I was volunteering to run on errands just so that I can enjoy my bike ride. Good old days they were.

Good thread! I think my first mountain bike was an Emmelle, but my first ‘proper’ mountain bike was a Giant Boulder. I remember saving my pocket money and doing odd jobs, delivering papers etc to pay for it.

I don’t think I can remember my first bike but the first MTB I wanted was a ProFlex, then a Sunn Radical, but I suppose that tells my age😔

Schwinn is my first bike. I used to deliver newspaper in the neighborhood with it.

My first bike was a Nishiki Apache, a Canadian manufactured bike. Looking back brings a lot of good memories.

When i was young, Mongoose was the coolest bike out there. Felt like a true rider, when i rode it. My parents gave it, as my Christmas present.

Actually I started off riding on my father’s Schwinn bike. I still remember how we friends used to make crazy maneuvers around the streets in our neighborhood. Though I own a four wheeler now, I still cherish my bike and do meet up with my school buddies and take those rides into the countryside.

Start with a cool looking bike, don’t remember the name. It looked like racing bike. But the geometry was completely off. Ended with bad back pain. Still not comfortable riding, racing handles.
