I'm 57, road biked (never raced) in my thirties and forties. Got hurt at work and turned 50 and thought I was too old to ride a bike. Imagine that!! I just bought a new bike, already have 100+ miles on it, closer and closer to going clipless and trying not to kick myself for ever stopping. I'm looking forward to many many great rides with my guy. He took the bait and bought a new bike, too.
