Tell me your bike story.
Everybody has a good bike story.
Or just tell me about your bicycle.
What color?
Chromed out?
Stickers or stripped?
I didn’t have much more than a bike growing up and that thing was my sidekick.
All the BS just fades away and it’s adventure time.
What snack is in your pocket there,fellow sad faced humans?

I had an old racer a few of us cycled miles into the countryside when youngsters I had swapped bikes for the journey so was on a BMX bike the guy on my bike snapped the chain and took his back.we tried using shoe laces as a tow but it kept on breaking so I ended up walking miles home with my bike and snapped chain and my friends just left...
Ugh nothing like pushing a coaster!
I have a bike that is blue and teal. 30 speed. Not really a road bike but a hybrid. I live in the Czech Republic which is very bike friendly. I ride the bike rather than drive a car. It is great!
My bike is my new best friend
I ride almost every day, it’s the best medication for physical, spiritual & physical pain
I live near the ocean & feel so good when I ride with the beach breeze blowing against my face
The funny part, I’m not sure if it’s a 3 speed or 6, leaning towards the later because it has 3 gears on each hand grip...the bike was given to me 😊
Super jealous of the beach vision!!!
I live in country on outskirts of town.
Rolling hills and clean air.
If we could only swap scents at will!

3 gears on each hand grip = 9 different gear selection thus it's 9 SPEED
Thanks for responding, didn’t even know there were 9 speed bikes 😊
i had a turqoise colored bike
w/ the little tassels or w,e the
hanging string thingies are on
the handles of kids bikes ( I
cant think of it rn lol)
I had lent it to a friend once..
that friend and his brother
rode the shxt out of it..they
went so fast..too fast... The
chains fell tf off.
I was miserable the end lol..
I fell off that bike once too.
I hurt my knee caps and my
hand..
I remember around the time
I got ym next one that was pink..
No taining wheels..I got it on
my 7th birthday? I was a big girl
now and I busted my butt a few
times at first b/c it was big af
in comparison to the other which
wasnt necessarily small either,
but i was doing my thanggg.
I miss when we had scooters
and bikes and having friends
on my block all those beginning
years.. That's changed especially
since evryone started moving
away and it's the computer age
so I wish my younger sibling had
that..I just so happened to catch
the end of that time. But it seems
to be coming back around a bit w/
this quarantine..ppl being outside
more in front of their homes..
lights being cut out in the neigh-
borhood at times too, so everyone
rushes out like YAlls lights gone too?
Yeahhh! and then it feels almost like
a block party. It's great.
Otherwise the block is somewhat vacant.
i've seen people come out their home
that I never even knew existed👀👄👀
Yes I spent so much time on my bike with my friends growing up thanks for the stories!
As soon as you said "bike story" I thought of my worst bike story. I was riding with a friend and we went further than allowed. We stopped at a fruit tree to pick some fruit. I layed my bike down and stood on it. My foot got stuck in the spokes, I fell and when I got up, I tore my leg open. Bone was showing, blood was making me ill and we had about 2 miles to ride to her house. 80 stitches later! I still have the scar! If you meant a motorcycle (bike), my boyfriend and I were almost run off the freeway but thankfully he was ready for it! Made me think twice about getting on it again!
Oh my gosh I though worst story too 😂
I’m leaving and never coming back to this site 🤣😂🤣😂🖕
Wait I didn’t mean the finger it slipped as I was typing fast!! Lol
I had a red Schwinn. The handle grips had slid further up the handle bars so the metal at the end was exposed. One day I was riding my bike in a dirt hill, that in all fairness I was told to stay off of, and as I was riding I saw deer tracks. I was more tomboyish growing up so I wanted to follow them. Well I hit a groove in the hill left by a huge tractor tire. When that happened I blacked out for a second only to when I regained my sight completely, and shook my head I saw blood dripping. So I panicked and was screaming, then composed myself enough to hold pressure to my face as I rode the old Schwinn home. When I got there my dad freaked out, my mom about passed out, then off to the hospital we went. 22 stiches later, and I was good to go. It about killed me lol it was like a half of centimeter away from my jugular. So yeah I had many bikes, but that was the most memorable one.
My bike is gathering cobwebs because I haven't ridden in ages. 🙁 I have got all the riding gear, panniers, lights etc so it's either ride or sell 🤔
Ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
check out my screen name ;0)
.......Just woke up, it's 3 AM EDT here in SW Florida, and getting ready to leave my house for 50 miles of smiles riding my newest bike, a 2018 Specialized Roubaix Expert that my wife gave me for my 67th Birthday 3 years ago. For my 70th Birthday on the 10th of July I bicycled 141 miles.
Yes!!!
My buddy has contracts with specialized to make their catalogs and marketing materials great bikes!!
My brother had an old specialized rock hopper converted to single speed!
Thank you for sharing enjoy your ride!!!
An ex boyfriend gave me a Shwinn at 19. I got hit by a car, I wasn’t injured but I was traumatized now at 65 Never got on another bike since😞🚴🏻♂️
Really awesome question... I think it universally brings up positive feelings from everyone’s childhood. I remember the thrill and nervousness of trying it the first time. I remember falling and splitting open my lip. I remember the sense of freedom and adventure. I remember it getting stolen and it being a big deal at the time ..
The whole positive feelings from childhood was what I was shooting for haha!!
Should’ve known with a network of depressives lolol🤪🤪🤣😂
Freedom and adventure is something that is robbed from this illness of the mind.
There once was a time where life was more simple...curious.....happy.
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
I have a 7 speed beach cruiser. White with pink bling. Love going to the beach ridding. Time stands still when I do this. Love ridding my bike... ♥♥ Great post... Thank you for the smile.
I live in the hills but go to beach every year it is my favorite place makes you feel so small being in ocean.
Thank you for kind words hope you have the best day you can!!!❤️
Whenever I’m riding, I think this has to be one of the greatest human inventions ever! Mine is old, a Trek 21 speed road bike from the 80s when I lived out West. It’s laid up now, waiting for me to find my thin wrench and put the rear brake back together. Some of you had some horrible crashes when you were kids. I think we all did stupid stuff. I remember the day I bought my first helmet. Riding the Trek, there was a ridge west of town, on the far side a nice straight downhill with level ground at the bottom. Came down it many times—fast, like 50+ mph. One day as I was coasting and slowing down on the level stretch, I got this uncontrollable case of the shakes, as I realized that all I would have to do is hit the pull tab off a beer can and I would die. I rode v e r y s l o w l y back to town, to the shop where I bought it, and came out with a white Bell helmet with orange stripes. Felt like a dork—but never ride without a helmet since, and now everybody does thank God. Never had a bad crash as an adult but I know of too many who have. I was kind of a bike activist when I was a teenager, on a city council committee. Bike = Freedom, and all honest CO2 also. I need to get it fixed now!
Thank you for sharing!!!
I had a trek in high school.
I bought my sons bmx bikes and they’ve been loving it lately.
Bike =freedom,
And for many of us a time when things weren’t so hard
I remember I was about 10 years old we got a bike for Christmas... that night after opening our gift, our dad put them in our shed to ride the next morning. Well unfortunately someone broke into it and stole all three of our bikes, mine and my two baby sisters.. 😏
I now currently own a bright yellow old school style of bike. Love it. Has a cute basket.
Apparently someone felt they really needed those things for free!!
What an awful feeling looking in that shed and nothing but cobwebs and despair!
Thank you for sharing have a great day🙏
You too! 😊
Back in my early teenage years I really started get interseted in biking. By the time I was 16 I started riding 30 miles a week. I also found out that bike riding was helping mebecome more with my epilepsy. By the time I graduated high school and went to college I was riding between 50-100 miles a week. After I graduated college, I became more serious in my riding bike. I wanted to participate in the Olympic Biking Team, however that did not work out. Now I was riding 200 - 300 miles a week. I decided I was going to take a bike trip. So, I took a 3 week, 1,000 mile bike trip from MIssoula, MT. - Jasper, Alberta, Canada. It was one of my best decisions I had ever made! Loved it!
The bike I have now I bought because it's purple. My favorite color!! It's a bit big for me and I can't get the seat to go down far enough but I HAD to have a purple bike. I have neighbors leaving things that are purple on my porch all the time!! My son painted my Mobile 3 different shades of purple. Sorry, I got off the subject! LOL
Slowly losing faith again…
Tension headaches 
i do not want to be a mom. 
The last letter I sent my mother, I can’t take anymore
