I am 47 and never learned to ride as a kid; I had a trike when I was little, but never a bicycle. I learned to ride in July of 2005, at the grand old age of 44. That was on a moutain bike, on which I quickly installed slick tires. I did my first organized ride two years ago on that bike, 37 miles on flat pedals. Death seemed preferable to finishing that last mile!

And yet I rode again!

Now I'm on my new Trek 2.1 WSD. It is beautiful!
