My parents' bought me an 'Ashby' two-wheeler bike when I was 8yo! It cost £28.10s, which was VERY expensive in late '50's!
I loved my bike, & rode it every afternoon after School, with other neighbourhood kids. We had fun!
Like everything I owned, toys, books' etc, it was given to my nieces' & nephews' &, of course, they never looked after it like I did.
It now sits rusted & forlorn, under their house! Next time I go there, I'll 'rescue' it & try & clean it up a bit!
