Yep, just turned the clock on 54 here. Got back into cycling after a LONG hiatus a year ago, started with a fitness/hybrid.
Last month I decided to buy a road bike, then upon finding out we're going to be moving to Italy this Summer decided to add a trail/mountain bike to the mix.
I'm not worried about racking up miles--I'll ride what I ride. I figure we're all somewhere between our first and last mile on a bike on any given day, so just want to enjoy it.
The really good news is that in the 15+ years I was away from cycling, lots of good things have been going on, and you can buy a heckuva nice bike for not too much coin these days!!
