I started riding back in the 80's with a Schwinn Traveler then moved to a Nishiki Prestige, followed that up with an Aluminum Trek 1100. Was a member of two clubs that did a lot of road riding. Sometime back in the 80's I bought a second generation Nishiki Colorado mountain bike which I still own. I have to thank George Bush for that nice little tax refund he gave me in 2000 which I put towards a Cannondale Silk Trail 400. I mainly ride on Rail Trails and Green Ways these days.
