'Got my first proper road bike new in 1986 and have "aged" it to vintage by dumb luck (my C'dale). I kept getting a new one every few years, but don't have the motivation to ever get rid of any. I keep riding them in random/dumb luck selection and have great fun doing it. I never race, but find I can eat more if I ride more!
In my real life, I'm a project manager for a non-profit R&D company that spun-off from the University of Pittsburgh.
