Interesting thread that laid dormant between 2005 and then jumped to 2008. Maybe the universe tilted in 2005 and no one aged?

It's been great going through all the posts in this thread. I'm glad to see how many of you are still around TE. Unlike other hobbies (obsessions?), biking seems to stick around and that is heartwarming.

I'm 62, at least until the universe tilts again.

This is me the summer I learned to ride a bike on a Pennsylvania country gravel elbow-eating road.


This is me until recently....the lost years when I worked too much overtime and was always buried under paperwork.


So I tried horses but found I'd rather walk beside them and commune with their very sentient sensibilities and it was lovely especially on a snow-covered hill on a full moon night; but, alas it wasn't doing anything for my waistline and something was missing......


And then I remembered the day, decades and decades ago, when someone flew down the country road on a bicycle and didn't take me with them.....


The rest is history....
