With the Baby Boomers now passing the 50 year mark many will
be retiring and "re-discovering" cycling as a great past time
sport. A sport that will require a different focus than the
20 somthing to 40 somethings require.

Now we're not talkin' old folk's home here. What we are
talking about is bike that will not be full race bikes nor
will they be full BMX,dirt or other hard rock extreme sport
type bikes. They will ,in the end , be commuters, weekend
touring bikes, and town bikes that have a greater level of
comfort with ease of maint. & Hi reliablity. Some makers are
already starting to feed this type of bike into the market
now. But for the most part, the go fast, live dangerously
crowd will become a fully seperate market from "Boomerbikes".

Sure, some Boomers will NOT admit they can't perform like
they were 20 anymore.......until they get hurt trying. THEN
they , too, will want a "Boomerbike". So there will be a need
for a more mature "Boomerbike" forum here in time.
