My parents had to watch every penny when we were kids, and as I had an older brother and sister, I got all their toys after they'd grown out of them. When I got my first bike (which they'd both had before me), I was so worried that it might wear out quickly that I frantically pedalled backwards down every hill to prevent this happening.
