Me too , went to school on it , did my paper round on it , and most of my spare time was spent on a pushbike . It was a Raleigh Jeep ! Loved that bike
I then got a Raleigh Randonneur , went to work on it , did my shopping , went on holiday on it , cycled from Cornwall to wilts , went to the Lake District on it , I did thousands of miles on that bike , in fact it was push bikes and this one in particular that got me into Motorbikes . I've had it almost 30 years and restored it to it's former glory 4 years ago , I think they call it " Retro " now . It still gets a bit of exercise now and again . Do you reckon it's the right colour Larry ?
Just me it seems then . i hated em, I walked my paper round everyday about 3 miles with an old shopping basket on wheels with the papers in. Dunno what it is about them I dont like cause I love motorbikes, I think it's maybe that I'm not coordinated enough to work my arms and legs at the same time , I loved roller skating though and was crap at that and always falling over so maybe I just didn't stick with pushbikes enough to enjoy them.
Fitted new front pads yesterday after a pretty strong 'advisory'. Now have difficulties with back pain due to crawling around and exerting pressures in weird directions / positions.
Was looking forward to using this thingy but it would not fit over nipples. Warmed it, shoved a screwdriver up it to no avail. Drat, foiled again.
