Well, I'm the "young whippersnapper" that welcomed you and suggested you come to the 50+

, I have a whole 2 years on you, too. Good to have you here, wear what ever you like, the full spectrum of clothing for cycling is around the place, somewhere, we just have to remember where we put it.

The members here are a pretty great group, I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do. Regardless of what you wear and what bike you ride you will be welcome here.
Oh, and about the grand-kids laughing, that one will happen regardless of the other things you mentioned, we cannot help you there, we are too busy getting laughed at by them or the young ladies we try to impress at the stop light as we fail to unclip and to a Club Tombay fall entry.
