Been saving up to buy a bike, just finished my MSF course a few weeks ago. I'll be ready to buy in about a month or two, but the wait is killing me. So while I'm forced to wait, let me live vicariously through you guys! Tell me some of your favorite rides and stories on a bike :p

How old were you when you got your first "real" bike? Did you pay for it? Did you have to convince your parents? What kind of bike was it? Tell your stories!
