All my bikes have coaster brakes. I know you would find those on a road bike, but I just like curves and tanks.
And I'm only 52. There is a coffee shop downtown that was formerly a bike shop until the owner switched careers for coffee and microbrews. He has a series of panels on the wall from around 1976 with the Pope Columbia, a bike safety clinic for kids and senior citizen 'pedal pushers' They had newer bikes than most of mine!
It's interesting how the hobby/sport has changed.
