    Missed the swing bike and the skatebike.

    I don’t know where Dad dug these things up, but he started supplying us with strange and wondrous ways to hurt ourselves on 2 wheels, starting with a home made small penny farthing in 1962, an early banana seater, and a circus trick bike (20" wheels, vertical fork tube, and 1:1 fixed gear).

      And cyclocross. I love my freaky off-road racing bike. Fast commuter able to deal with garbage road surfaces around town, and bonkers around the park.
