What timing! I ordered a mount for my wife's Cateye bike light from my LBS and it came in yesterday. I went there to pick it up and while I was there, a man in his mid 40's was looking at the road bikes. The owner, Charlie, is a year younger than me (I'm 64.98) and his mechanic, Lucas, is in his mid 20's. We are on first name basis at this store. This LBS carries a small inventory of road bikes because of a larger bike shop a few miles away that specializes in road bikes and has a very large inventory of them. The customer, who wanted to do distance rides, asked Charlie if they sold very many road bikes to guys in his age group because he had heard that road bikes are better for doing long distance rides. Lucas, who was ringing up my order, turned to the customer and said, "Sir! If you want to know about guys your age riding road bikes for long distances, you may want to talk to this gentleman. He's a bit older than you and rides farther than I can." I left after speaking the the customer for 5 minutes or so, but I think that Charlie sold another road bike.
