I had some super cool chrome one with black & white checkered sponge padding bits and black mag wheels for my first bike and then I had a Grifter and then a Skyway.

The rest were too modern to be worth a mention.

My Raleigh Commando - remember coming off it and the brake lever puncturing the top of my thigh.

I get my new bike tomorrow, I've decided to do some extra exercise. I'm getting a Raleigh Caprice which is very retro looking and has a lovely basket on the front.

My childhood bike was a Raleigh Fourteen
