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 ?
I used to do up to 200 miles a week as a lad.
9 miles to school and back then 14 (when we moved), 2+ mile paper round, training and bit of 25 & 50 mile racing.
...and none of it on the ******* pavement
