Who cares what people think?
I am 56, like Bleeker, and I am back in school, preparing for a new career. The younger grad students ask meadvice about riding, buying a bike.

Some of my friends really don't understand 1)why I ride my bike and 2) why I am working my azz off in school so i can go back to work, when I could be doing nothing. They are the same ones who complain about how much they "can't do" anymore.
