Man, I wish I'd been a little sportier as a kid. My dad owned a bike shop and got me a sweet road bike when I was 13 or 14. I had only ridden a single-speed with pegs and stuff around the neighborhood before. The speed, combined with being in the drops, scared the hell out of me and I never got into it. Now that I've got a few years of cycling under my belt at age 22, I'm kicking myself. I'd be so much faster now!
