Do you remember your first bicycle? What color was it? Where did you ride it?

Lovely photos for keepsake... like your humor too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the post.
DeleteLove it! I love my bike now but I remember.... I loved my big wheel too :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder -- do they still make Big Wheels? Seems like they were almost impossible to tip over.
DeleteOh, yes, I remember my first bike, too. And it was blue! It was my only means of "escape," as we lived miles from a town and my parents were always busy. I rode to friends' homes and all around, just to explore. My best memories of childhood! Thanks for sharing...and here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
ReplyDeleteOur bikes gave us a lot of freedom, didn't they? Seems strange that we didn't wear helmets or knee pads and we somehow survived.
DeleteMy first bike...and every bike after...were hand-me downs from my sister. I never ever got a nrw bike, being the youngest child! LOL BUT...I lived on my bike...it was my life:)
ReplyDeleteJacquie, I think you need to buy yourself a shiny new bike!
DeleteWonderful pictures, I love old photos !!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm lucky to have so many photos from my childhood. Thanks, Mom and Dad.
DeleteThese are great photos. Owning a bike is such a big deal for children. I still love my bike.
ReplyDeleteBikes are the best :) that first picture really interested me; your mum seemed to be almost transparent in it. Huh, wonder why :)
ReplyDelete- Linking over from Saturday Snapshots
I have very few pictures of my mom as a child. Her family was very poor. I'm surprised this photo survived so many years.
DeleteI was never allowed to have a bike as a child, so I had to buy my own first bike as an adult at 20! So I spent my childhood falling off older kids bikes, thus reinforcing my parents notions that bikes were dangerous. Great series of pictures today.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them. I had fun putting the post together.
