Being the huge supporter of cycling that he is, he invited me to his house so that I could try one of his wife's older bikes and if it fit, they would give it to me. Unfortunately, it didn't fit but I thought that it was so kind of them to offer. I often see them riding their tandem bike. Maybe next time I'll ride up along side them and say, "Look! I'm a cyclist now!" Or as a running friend of mine recently said, "You've crossed over to the dark side!"

Might be a good idea to thank him, if timing is right with the couple on their tandem. If he doesn't remember, she might remember the bike fit problem when you visited them. Many people who give advice with the greatest of intentions to solve a health-related problem, tend to enjoy hearing positive feedback. (Remember, they hear alot of complaints/negatives from "patients" daily in their jobs, that's why they are trained in the first place to handle such problems.)

You're absolutely right. I think he would remember me because he was always giving me advice. And I would arrive 25 minutes before class started to warm up and he was always the only other class member in the room so we would often talk. At the time, I didn't want to hear that I would have to put running aside someday. But he was right.
