Well, I rode a bike as a kid. I even delivered pizza in Philadelphia in the late 80's on a 3 speed I picked up at a thrift store.

I hadn't ridden since.

Then I started running 3 years ago, and really wanted to try triathlons, so DH and I went got a couple entry level mountain bikes (I figured I could use it on and off road, and if I really liked tri's, I woud either get a better road or tri bike).

I really liked riding, and I was pretty fast on my mountain bike, so I got my road bike last year - a steel de Rosa, and I love it!

I wish I could get DH to ride more. He goes out on short rides a once or twice a week, and we did the Rosarito-Ensenada ride together - his longest ride ever.
