I had a weekly vintage bike ride in Chicago for several years. Bibliobob and I would ride ride together and draw a few other riders on a regular basis. Now Bob lives in California and I live in Southern Illinois near St Louis.
I continue to ride vintage bikes while riding with local groups in Edwardsville Illinois. Another rider has a Colnago Master that she rides infrequently, she normally rides a new Cervelo. I'll infrequently use my modern carbon bikes if the weather is damp or windy or if I'm riding a technical gravel route.
I like using a different bike depending on the route, weather or my impulsive mood.

When I ride my bike I feel free and happy and strong. I'm liberated from the usual nonsense of day to day life. Solid, dependable, silent, my bike is my horse, my fighter jet, my island, my friend. Together we will conquer that hill and thereafter the world.
