Another Old Guy who decided to get back on the bike. My name is Dean, and I live inthe Twin Cities area (Minnesota). High school teacher (close to retirement age), golfer, guitar player and builder, dad, husband, and family ATM. I'm slowly, but surely, building up some miles and hope to do quite a bit more riding in Montana over the next couple weeks.
Presently, I'm riding a bike I picked up at a garage sale for $50 - Univega 2.5 hybrid thing. I'm looking for a modest road bike and have posted some questions on the Road board regarding which brands are solid. My frame of reference from the '60s and '70s includes Raleigh, Bianchi, Bottecchia, Miyata, Panasonic, Schwinn, Batavus, Fuji, Motobecane, et al. Times have changed!
This looks like it's a fun pace to hang out - I'm sure I'll enjoy it here, and I am certain to learn a lot!
Thanks,
Dean
