I tend to agree with that thought because there is a physical ability to riding a bike and then there is a eye/hand coordination type skills that I don't think you can learn. You are either born with it or not and while these fellow members are certainly more fit and trim than I am and would flat out smoke me in a foot race, they are not so skilled on the bike. They aren't bad bike riders by no means, but lack those finesse skills that help me make up time lost on the areas where I might be needing improvement myself.
