Spent most of my bar mitzvah money on one of these. Parents said I had to leave it outside (there really wasn't a place for it unless I put it in my room). Did. Four weeks later, a tornado damaged houses on our street. Some rubbernecker stole my bike (and lots of other stuff on our street) from right in front of our townhouse. Parents bought me some cheap POS as a "replacement".

The only good part is that I never came close to damaging my future ability to have children. My personality and looks took care of that.

At least you can be certain it wasn’t because you chose the Pea Picker.

I was 13 and foolish when I got that bike. About a year later, I looked back on it and thought, "What the hell were you thinking? WERE you thinking?"

I'll also give my parents some credit for letting me make my own mistake.
