Why did I take up Bicycling at this late age?
1. I need the excercise because I don't have any other serious excercise program. While I have not lost the weight I wanted to lose, I certainly have increased my flexibility.
2. My 2 sons and I like to ride mountain bikes together, which allows me to stay closer to them. As the TV ad says, this is priceless.
3. I love mechanical work as a hobby. I'm not sure what I enjoy more, setting a new personnal best on the mountain or path trail or working on one of our bikes. We started the year with three bikes, now we have nine. Over half of these bikes are old and most required some adjustment and/or repair to get back on track.
