    I want to win this for my daughter so I can teach her all about bike safety and spoil her this summer with accessories for her bike. Thanks

  12. jenreco says

    I am sure I had a bike before this one but the first bike I remember is a red girls ten speed that I begged my mom and dad for. I wrecked it several blocks from home and had to have a neighbor passing by help me, my scraped up leg, and my bike back home…

  14. Lentil says

    I don’t remember my first bike but I remember learning to ride. My father and older sister teamed together to teach me to coast, and from there it was a short time til I was peddling away! I’d like this set because I’m starting to think about teaching my daughter to ride.

  16. heather c says

    All I remember about my first bike was being a daredevil on a funky sidewalk ramp on our block…then running into our chain link fence after that. Good times, since I didn’t break as easily back then.

  17. DONNA says

    My first real 2 wheeler bike was a blue Schwinn with a banana seat. I was afraid of it at first because I didn’t want to take my feet off the ground. But Dad worked hard and taught me to ride that bike within a week. Would love a new Schwinn, as my first bike is a little too small for me now. Thanks.

  19. Chris Ann says

    My first bike was a tiny little Schwinn, it was aqua blue and I loved it. I was five years old,
    when I rec’d that Schwinn.
    I would like to win this basket because my daughter just today, brought home a
    pink and aqua “Miss Rocker” bike (circa 1980’s) that a neighbor had out with a free sign on it.
    It need a little work and sprucing up .

  31. Steph A says

    My first bike was a tiny little dirt bike with training wheels because I wanted one just like my brothers!

  32. Diane Baum says

    It was a red schwin and sadly it took me forever to learn to ride a 2 wheeler!

  35. heatherzilla says

    My first bike was a “Desert Rose” . It was burgundy and cream colored and had streamers from the handle bars. I loved that bike.

  41. Angela H says

    I remember that my first “real” bike was purple. I also remember I fell while riding it one day and broke my toe.

  47. Martha Payne says

    My first bike wasn’t really a bike, it was a Cabbage Patch Kids Big Wheels. I remember feeling so awesome riding around on that thing. Thanks for the contest! codisweepstakes2 (@) gmail(dot)com

  48. Angela Cisco says

    The first Bike I can remember having was a pink Huffy and I can remember being really upset because all of my friends had purple.

  49. jeannine m says

    My first bike was a hand me down from a older brother. I remeber learning to ride and falling into some bushes

  50. Katie S. says

    All I can remember about my first bike was that I had to pump up the tire with my dad before every ride. It was a pain, but I remember missing it when I got a new bike that had tires that didn’t leak air. Newer isn’t always better… I’d like to win for my son, who will be learning to ride a “2 wheeler” this summer.

  54. Julie L says

    I remember my first bike-I was 5 years old and it was red…one of our neighbors bought it for me
    thanks

  60. kittycardero says

    My first bike was a tricycle that was meant to be my Christmas present but was stolen from our shed before it made it’s way under the tree. My parents couldn’t afford to rebuy a bike so I didn’t actually get a bike for a few years after that 🙁

  62. gina says

    I just got my bike back from my parents house because my husband is eager for us to go riding together, so this would be perfect.

  64. Linda says

    I got my first very own new bike for Xmas and it was a blue 3 speed, I loved that bike!

  71. Daniel M says

    my 1st was a piece o junk, pedals turned all the time and no brakes.. yep i wiped out a lot

  75. katfam says

    I remember getting my first bike for my 6th birthday. My dad built it, which I thought was VERY cool!

  80. Rachel M says

    My first bike was had cotton candy pink and blue swirls with the pompoms on the handle bars. I can distinctively remember my first solo ride down the street. My shoe laces got caught in the chain and I laid on the side of the road crying until my neighbor came outside! Whoops, lol!

  81. Melissa D says

    My first bike was a Schwinn with a banana seat and a sissy bar! It was sparkly blue and I was totally in love with it!

  82. Erica C. says

    I remember when I was first learning how to ride a bike…I was so excited and wanted my step father to watch me. I turned to see if he was looking and I fell into a big bush! I’ve just recently started thinking about biking to work so this would be a great addition once I find a bike!

  90. Dawn S. says

    I remember my was blue with a big banana seat and I almost got hit by a car!

  93. Jen says

    my first bike was a barbie bike, it had a pink and white basket, a banana seat and streamers 🙂

    I was so cute

  96. Susan C says

    I don’t remember what my first bike looked like, but I remember falling off it a lot. I remember my mom chasing me down the street and “letting go”. I am going to get a bike this summer and would love to win this giveaway!

  99. Christian says

    My first bike had a fabulous banana seat with a huge rainbow on it. And streamers on the handle bars. I loved it!

  101. bre hopkins says

    My first bike was a the typical frilly pink sparkly little girls bike. My older brother, and my mom taught me how to ride my bike on the tiny amount of sidewalk and yard we had at this house my family intended on buying. Whenever my mother saw how happy I looked on my bike just riding it around on the small area I had to ride it, she decided to look for houses in a more rural area. A month later we were moving into a house with a a half mile bike trail through the woods.

  105. LeAnn V says

    I don’t remember my very first bike, but I do remember when I was 12 or so I had saved up all my money to buy a brand new, bright red ten speed bike. I loved it!! That was the first big thing I had ever bought with money I had saved.

  107. Kate R says

    Forgot – I am @kjrivas . I really would love this prize. I entered the Schwinn Bike IT Forward and actually won. Now, I definitely need the accessory kit (especially the helmet.)

  111. Kate R says

    I remember bicycling to the swim club with my friend Susan. Those were the days!

  112. pat roberts says

    I was presented a bike for my birthday and realized it was just my older sister’s bike newly painted. I knew enough to pretend to be excited, but secretly I hated my “new” bike.

  118. Deborah Rosen says

    I really can’t remember my first bike….but after many, many years, I’ve just gotten a new bike (a Schwinn Gateway)! I was saying how I’d like to get a bell and a basket for it…and then I found your giveaway! I’ll cross my fingers!

  120. Katherine says

    I have a neighbor that has just got his first bike and I would love to give him this basket

  121. Denise B. says

    My first bike was my older brother’s tricycle handed down to me. I used to turn it upside down and play ice cream truck with it, pretending I was making ice cream with the peddled wheel. I had a few spills off of it too.

  122. Jessie says

    It was a banana seat Huffy. I could get going really fast then kick my legs out behind me, stomach lying on the seat, and pretend I was flying like Superman.

  123. Dawn Russell says

    My first bike was a very large bike (way too big for my size) that my brothers pieced together. Of course, it had no breaks, so I had to stop it by either cruising up to a tall fence or by jumping off and physically stopping it. Actually, most of my bikes were like that growing up. I never had a new one. My brothers loved finding bike parts and creating masterpieces. Not a single one had breaks though.

  129. Kimberly says

    I had a pink banana seat bike that used to belong to my older sister. I was really excited when I first got it, but discovered it was super slow, uncomfortable, and the pedals had sharp edges. I was more than ready for a *real* first bike.

  140. Jessie C. says

    We like biking on weekends. This would make a great win to get bike accessories.
