Greetings from Columbus, Ohio

Hello fellow cyclists! Glad to join the forums.

I've loved bicycling and bicycles for many years. I started cycling in the early 70s in central Ohio. I joined local the AYH and did centuries and club rides, such as TOSRV, Midwestern Double Century, etc. I also raced with the local racing club, the now-defunct Franklin Bicycle Club Incorporated ("FBCI") for a few years. I still have two bikes from my youth: a 1972 Mercian Professional (which I rode to work today), and a Peugeot track bike (which I have on display in my office).

Most of my riding these days is commuting, which I enjoy immensely.

I enjoy riding vintage lugged steel bikes, and have several: Mercian and Peugeot track, as noted above, a '70 Bottecchia Giro d' Italia, an '84 Lotus Competition, two Bridgestone RB-2s, and a Raleigh DL-1 "Tourist" roadster.
