Joe:? Drops. Risers are for commuters.
2.0 First bike?
Jay:? 20 inch unisex bike with adjustable cross bar, I was only 5 years old. Black and yellow. Learned all I know from that bike including how to crash. I lived on Irwin Street and had to come back down the hill. No training wheels ever. That part I am proud of. Still have the scars.

3.0 First flat you and how long it took to change?
Jay:? 10, on my bmx bike after jumping some stupid thing. I was always the kid who would do the jump that no one else would try. Took two days coz I had to figure out which tube to buy.
Joe: Tore the tube around the valve stem out on the Barnett highway in the middle of the night; took way longer to change than it should have.
