Reading too many posts from the "Serious Cyclists" on the 50+ list could lead a person into believing that the enjoyment of cycling, even for those well past 50+ years old requires an OC-type concern about mileage and speed, peer approved clothing and equipment, setting and achieving fitness or cycling "goals", and in general, a seeming fear of being "dropped" in cycling status by strangers and/or the aging process.
