Sorry, but the 50+ Forum just ain't the same anymore. I had the illusion, apparently, that this Forum was different. But if we're going to have to be all serious and on topic all the time, and worry about offending each other all the time, then it's just another forum. Y'all have a good time; I'll be around from time to time and certainly will check back in on advice on which bike to buy ( ) but the "community" I knew is fast moving to the dust bin of history. Damn shame. It was fun while it lasted.

Those of you who helped me along in my learning about cycling -- thanks! Also thank to so many of you who made me laugh or made me think. I have fond memories of so many posters.

Maybe I'll see you on the road!
