I feel the same way, but with boating and fishing. All the new stuff is cool, but you don't need it to have a good time. I don't feel the need to buy new when the old equipment works fine. Getting into cycling I bought a new bike and a yard sale special. I like to ride the older one as much as the new one. I also feel that a folding bike is so practical and useful. I don't like to waste and I am more pro earth freindly than ever. I turned 50 last month. Is it wisdom or old age?
