Hi guys, nice forum.
I'm 54, DW is 52. We used to ride a good bit together, and even did a carry-our-own-gear trip from Stockholm to Sveg (Sweden) in 1991.
At our current house (moved here 9 years ago), we can't ride from the house without traveling on the freeway a bit (not many cars but it's still a freeway). I do it twice a week, but wife tried it once and said "%^$# that, sell my bike!" which I did.

She's still in good shape, with running, hiking etc.
So, I'm now planning an easy bike touring trip, probably in the San Juan islands. Probably 20 miles per day max. My plan is to get a bike through craigslist, and spend a few hundred. Maybe something like this:

Any thoughts? Thanks!
