The days of stretching on the lycra shorts, finding a matching skin tight jersey and wadelling in my road cleats are numbered for this Old fart. Besides, I've seen my reflection in the windows and it ain't very complementary no matter what my wife says......but I digress
Nailed it. I avoid reflections/mirrors at all costs. I'll be 60 in August (I can't believe it), I'm in it now for the exercise and riding around the 'hood with my wife (Townie 7d). Just picked-up a new bike Tuesday (and recently joined here), a 2020 FX3. As I'll be riding some hardpack fairly often, I ordered a pair of
G-One Allround tubeless in 700x38 and a Commuter Comp saddle for my sore backside. A little wider and more padding than the stock item, without looking grandpa (which I am). I'm good to go! Love the hybrid.
