I am a bike rider. At 54 I just started riding again. The progression has been old hybrid for a month or so, new mountain bike for the last 3 months, and I am buying my first road bike tomorrow. ( can't get the hang of riding the Bottecchia my brother gave me.) It will be a used Cannondale r700. I would like to buy a touring bike in time and give that a go. I guess I may eventually become a cyclist, but for now I ride a bike and am becoming rather obsessed with that.
