Bicycling is recreation? Training? Racing?

)

The topics my be familiar, but the people are sometimes fresh with a new point of view. That's the best part.

Never beencalled coot, old fart, or codger. Wouldn't mind coot. Ginger or Mary Anne? Really? The truly enlightened coot is more concerned with your response to Jennifer or Bailey. Both intelligent woman, but both with different outlooks. Go, Bailey!
As to bicycling, my 51st is in two weeks, I'm doing a couple hundred a week, but, I'm very new to the sport and know nothing of it.
I come here to learn. So, all those old hat arguments...I've not heard a one...
