Oh - and one more. Can someone link me to the 60+ forum? I'm going to be eligible this fall, and I want to know what kind of folks hang out there.
Ha! Ha! Beat you to 60 and I did it on a Recumbent Bike! Not a White Bike! Ha! Ha!

Didn't the Diegos go to San Diego and isn't that close to P.I.?

Tom Storcrowe tried to investigate the other side via a heart attack. He recovered but thought it so much fun that he rode a SS 150 miles. Didn't bring on another heart attack, go figure.

I'm waiting on a new grandbaby, a boy for a change.

Digital?...Gee, you'd think we live in the computer age... No you did not miss anything except the possibility to post and read a bunch of posts from people who like to ride bikes, talk about bikes and look at them too.

    Whatever kind you don't have.... how about a 29-er?
  2. Should I go clipless?
    But of course, you should have cleats on your flip-flops and be prepared to teach any grandchildren how to click out.
  3. What is N+1?
    Doesn't really matter unless N is at least 8
  4. Why is white the best color for a bike?
    To be honest, it isn't... but everyone here humors you because we like you....
  5. Whatever happened to the Diegos?
    Darned it I know, but I miss them too

Thank you god! Someone is turning 60 before me !!
