I learnt to ride just over 5 years ago when I was 42. Started commuting to work 2 years ago and am on my 3rd bike and bought a road bike 3 weeks ago. Not ridden it yet as it's my 'best' bike, but I have an old frame I'll be building up (with lots of help!) that I want to use during the winter. I ride in all weathers. Would be rude not to given that, as a runner, I run in all weathers!
