So rummaging thru some stuff I found some old BW photos my old man took with a Polaroid instamatic way back in the late 60's....and made me think it would be cool to see how many other people have old photos of their first bicycles...

 

Note the riser bars...geehee

Here I am at 14 months. Ok, it was not my bike, and I don't think I was riding, but clearly the interest was there...

First photo I can find of me riding. 5 years old.

My first race: Natures Valley fun ride. 25km with 800m climbing. I think I was 12. (I'm the guy with the yellow helmet.)
