I turned 71 on monday I have a Road bike From decades ago,,
No Clubby rides, to join here (and be dropped in a mile from the start)
so it hangs there for a couple years... Looks nice, though..
what I've been riding most is a Folding Bike Love the Step thru functionality
My Bike friday Has plenty of widgets on it.. Rohloff speedhub, Disc Brakes
(now a Cable to a Hydraulic TRP HyRd Caliper) Hub dynamo,
Wired LED head and tail lights..
LBS is a Trek Dealer, (Summers I Help out , some)
the company (Trek University) does train young shop employees to over sell ..
I live in a Rural corner of the state , so shop has MTB up front
and Cruisers by the windows..
Summer Cycle tourists pass thru town by the hundreds, and sometimes,
they get tubes parts titres Replace broken spokes , etc..
few road bikes, and most carbon bikes are shipped in by their owners ,
to CC ride the coast..
when some were carried, they got picked up to feel the weight,
while browsing..
& It took years to sell ,, Monied bikies live in Portland..
