[mustang1]

Raleigh, pug, spesh, brommie, dale, focus, voodoo, boardman, haibike, condor, giant.

Moody of them are gone. Like a few others mentioned here, the folder was very useful for a while but didn't get much use these days. On the odd occasion that I need it, it's still very useful but I usually look for excuses to use a full-size bike.

 

[Donger]

A Raleigh Wayfairer back in the 70s and a Saracen Skyline that got me back into cycling in 2009. I now own two Ridgeback Panoramas and a Marin Pine Mountain.

[Dogtrousers]

I have missed out all the trikes and the like when I was a kid - but I think the first one was Triang

Good reminder

In my childhood there were a couple of bikes or trikes handed down from my sisters. I think that there was a Triang trike and a Fairy Cycle there.

I also had a scooter with white tyres that was MINE!
