Nobody worries about what bike you have, TE is a great site, I feel like it's my faraway family, 'cos I can come on here and ask the most ridiculous questions and always get an answer.

Love your post TxDoc

My first bike at the age of around ten was second hand and my current bike that I have now had 11 years was a hand-me-down from my son and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Homeschooling mom to six children OMG and you have time to play out? BTW your son sounds a love, when you both go off cycling and he considers you. Hopefully you will feel your asthma and back problem is slightly easier the more you ride, it has definitely helped me.
