How'd you get around as a kid?

[Arthur Dent]

I had a red and blue Kent bike that I beat the crap out of until it fell apart. Never got a new one.
Had roller skate until I out grew them. Didn't get new ones until I bought rollerblades a few years ago.
Had a cheap plastic skateboard I got at a yard sale until one of the wheels snapped off. Never got it fixed.
Built a go-cart with a friend once. Fell apart the first day we started going down hill with it. Shitty contruction, no parental help. In fact, they were pretty pissed when they found out we were messing with the power tools.
