my second childhood is beginning. I rode an old Western Flyer from the time I was 8 until I went in service at 17. Now I'm buying a used Trek 6500 and I'm going to do it again. I don't mean I'm going back in the service but I am going to ride again. I got the kids to give my wife a 3 wheel bicycle and she won't ride it. She never learned to ride a bike as a kid. Maybe now I can get her to ride with me a little if I stay on smooth pavement when with her. Time will tell. She'll be 70 the last day of this month and I'm lagging behind a little.
