Congratulations!
Alas, I've never had a "road to Damascus" cycling experience. Other cyclists ask me when I started cycling seriously, and I tell them my dad took the training wheels off in spring, 1962. They ask, no, when did I start cycling as an adult? I answer 1975 when I turned 18 and became an adult. Then they ask, no, when did you come back to cycling? The answer: right after breakfast, the morning after my dad took the training wheels off!
