The Best Childhood Memories Start with a Bike and Bingo

Growing up, I spent weekends at my dad’s house. It was a very bike-friendly environment, and I spent all my time whipping around the block every chance I got. My mom’s house was on a busy street with no sidewalks making riding my bike a rare activity.

Some of my best childhood memories are of riding that bike all around the neighborhood. I remember the day my training wheels came off. I felt like I was flying. Post sponsored by Mirum. Opinions are 100% my own.

The Best Childhood Memories

When you’re a kid, a bike represents your first tiny taste of independence. It opens opportunities to meet new friends, go on adventures, and learn all about how to get back on after falling off. In many ways, a kids’ bike is like a life lesson machine in so many ways. Family bike rides are the best. You see new things, make lasting memories, and get in some healthy exercise.

This is such a neat bike. Years ago in a land far away (OK not far away) before cellphones and the internet, we would spend hours on our bikes from dawn til dusk in the summer. We had such great adventures!

WOW, those were the good old days. Kids now don't know anything about riding bikes like we did back in the day. Most kids are so glued to those electronics. The first bike I ever had was from the Schwinn company! I really need to invest in a new smart bike for my daughter

My kids really enjoy being on their bikes, but those beginning days were tough. Having a smart bike like this would have really simplified the learning process.

These bikes are pure genius. I remember when my daughter first learned to ride a bike. She was very young, and it was hard for her to get the bike under control because of its size.
