I ride with the Kalamazoo Bike Club on Monday nights. OF course, mostly the riders are on modern road bikes. This past Monday night 3 different riders were on C&V bikes. I saw a Miyata, a Puch Mixte, and a Fuji League.

The Miyata rider is 90 years old and a cool old guy. Says he gave up driving before he had a bad accident but still rides 3 or 4 times a week. Our local paper recently did an article about him.

The lady on the Puch Mixte didn't even know her bike was somewhat special. She complained on how often she hit her knees on the top tube.

The rider on the Fuji League only wanted to talk about how valuable it was. He'd put a cushy saddle and hybrid bars on it but still had the OEM bars for it at home. Funny, today it was listed on CL.
