I'm glad there are people like you on here. I'm 47. I started back on a comfort bike to rehab my spine and get back into shape. I just recently "graduated" to a hybrid since my back is able to accept a more agressive (for me) riding position. I love it! I commute to work because it puts me in a good mood and helps keep me in shape. My husband rides with me when he can. We like to enjoy the exercise and scenery together. We're even thinking about maybe getting mountain bikes in the spring to ride some of the easy trails, just for the fun of it. It's all about how cycling can make your life better, which is different for each person here. I'd love to see a photo of you and your bike. If I get one taken, I'll put one up, too.
