Your post made me chuckle.
Even though we're the same age, I cannot attest to the same reactions from women and teenagers, but like you, my doctor is happy.
When I was a kid, we had the typical one car family. I was expected to find my own way to any activities. "Soccer moms" (or in my case, "baseball moms")were not invented yet.We learned how to fix and maintain bikes at a very young age. Except for a short and misguided hiatus when I first got my drivers license, I have biked to work and stores all my life. Kudos to the green people out there; but it's not my thing.... I like to eat, and want to stay healthy. Also great stress relief.
