Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.Andy Stanton

Hello from Northern Virginia.
I started biking again a month and a half ago after a 45 year hiatus (I'm 61, soon to be 62). I bought a Trek 7100 and have used it almost every day, about 7.75 miles per outing. I love every minute of it. I'm limited in the type of activities I can engage in due to my 2 artificial hips but biking is perfectly OK.
Eventually I'd like to increase my mileage to 20 miles per day but the problem is that Northern Virginia has lots of traffic and lots of hills. Fortunately I'm retired so I can schedule my rides during low-traffic times.
