Chicago2999
Hello;
I have been riding since my early twenties and now 55 enjoyed longer rides when younger seems harder now with life or maybe that's just excuse???
I started out with Schwinn steel that I bought used and have continued with Trek bikes I am currently riding Trek 1000 2004 nice easy bike.
Still enjoy country rides when I can but, take what I can.
I am having problem with rear brake which somehow locked up and will not loosen after I installed transporter on back I loosened brake a little and I think bearing came out will try some luck with BS to fix
Biking best thing I ever started you can go forever at any age is great!!!
Peace Out
