Please allow myself to introduce....my..self.

I'm 46 years old and just decided to get into biking. Is that too old? Anyway, I purchased a 91 Trek 1100 on craislist. It's a nice bike in really good condition. I'm sure I didn't get a great deal on it (paid $225) but it's got brand new tubes and tires so that's worth something.

I live in Concord, Mass. Anyone familiar with this area knows there are plenty of great routes around here. I'm looking forward to learning a lot on this forum and wanted to say hello.

Welcome old man to Bike Forums.
I started with a $15 Craiglist road bike at age 65 years.
Now put some miles on the bike.

Too old??? I wish I was 46 again. I'm 65. Started riding at 55.
