I had the opportunity to live in England back in the sixties and seventies and did some riding back then, but dropped it until about three years ago. I started riding again at 67 Y.O. so by that time I really could care less what some jerks with more money than brains had to say. Plus, I found that cyclists are just like fishermen. They lie. No one can go that far, that fast, and look that good doing it.
