I got my first bicycle when I was 8 years old. Santa left it for me at Christmas. I'm sad to say it is no longer with us. It had a hard life and was used up. We lived in the country with no paved roads. The dirt, mud, and hard riding took its toll. That Bike was a single speed,
as that was the norm back then. (the 40's)
The next bicycles was made from pieces of hand me downs.
I kept a bicycle together with used parts as that was my only way of going as a kid. When I got old enough to get a job and make my own money I got my second new one. A 3 speed London Flyer by "Western Flyer" It is listed below
