I suppose that everyone on the forum had a pushbike in their childhood/teenage years. What was yours. Mine was a hand me down which my parents bought off a family friend who’s son had outgrown it. In fact all of my pushbikes were hand me downs,never had a new bike Mine was a little BSA Junior Parkabike. I guess it was called a Parkabike as it had a stand which was attached/pivot to the rear wheel spindle and whilst riding the other end would clip to the rear carrier
My question is, why push them when they have pedals!!! Mine was a Schwinn Stingray. It looked exactly like this:
And the inevitable next question is, who stuck a playing card in to the spokes so it sounded like a motorbike?
Started with a trike like @Callumity when very young later on I made bikes up from bits and bobs found on the scrap tip or local dump, best colour: Rust
A hand me down Raleigh Dart (with stabilisers )...horrible thing: My first "proper" push bike was a red Raleigh Chopper:
Pashley manufacture an almost identical machine today, the Pashley Parabike, looks great, as does your photo Tiglet
The convertible transfer, didn't that relate to the big cross bar being quickly removable to enable multi gender use of the bike?
I think so, at the time I wasn't really aware of it, but I do remember it had solid tyres and you felt every bump.
Had something very much like this but in red. It would have had stabilisers on when I first got it I reckon.
