From Childhood or more recently. What was your favorite thing you've ever received?
Tell me what it was. I need some gift ideas.

A computer. But I think most people have those.
Clothes always do.
Art supplies...
musical instruments...
educational games...
A Schwinn Stingray. Coppertone.
Started a long-time love of bikes.
You sound Creative. An art student?
OMG! I had one in almost the same color!!! BUT, mine had a basket on the front. We used to clothespin cards to the spokes to make it sound loud..lol

Jesus Christ were you people street urchins? That's like something Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz would get excited about. What year are you guys from?
I'd LOVE to know what age you were when you got it. This seems to be every guys dream...starting young!
lol.. Candi.
I was NOT spoiled. My favorite gift as a kid was an easy bake oven that I had asked for three years in a row until my mom finally broke down and got it for me. I Loved that thing.

Those were big in the 70's. Mine was from a garage sale and I bought it with saved up birthday money. I had to pay half. It was 10 years old when I got it but it was a beauty in my eyes. Stingrays were awesome bikes. I bet half the ppl on this board had one.
I was born in the early 70's
Aww sorry your parents didn't love you enough to get you the Kandy Apple Red model, which all of us Kewl Kids had!
I was six.
Unfortunately, I heard a lot of noise in the garage Christmas Eve and opened the door into it to find my parents getting it out the back of the car.
They should have simply put a bow on it an placed it under the tree instead of by the stocking.
Santa never returned.
Still, it was a great present. I loved that bike.

I think those surfaced a few years later when they had the crate series.
Mine didn't have multiple gears or a rear slick. Yours?
*Ahem* you're referring to the KRATE series, not "crate"!!
Yep, I got a five speed. Had to wait an entire fucking year after the rest of my friends, because my mom was so sure I'd panic on a geared bike and try to use a (Non-existent) coaster brake and crash. Moms can be so silly at times.
edited to add: Those handlebars look different from what I remember. Are they aftermarket?
