It shouldn't be news to anyone that older men love talking about and restoring old bikes that work as well today (or better) than they did 40+ years ago. Generally speaking, young people aren't into "forums" or restoration of something the industry can't profit from.
My question:
what would Ayn Rand think? Wouldn't she say, your highest moral purpose is following your own individual passions? Or would she be constantly criticizing older folks for being so self reliant?
Ayn Rand would extoll the virtues of the solitary cyclist while sitting in on every group ride, never taking a pull.
