Lets See Your Bikes!
I was just wondering what the 50+ year olds are riding on their journeys and travels these days - vintage or new, commuter or racer, touring or fixie, or maybe something else?
Here's mine, I just got her last week, a Miyata 1400A, all-aluminum model, down tube shifters and all! Makes me feel like a kid all over again! Life is good! -

Those bents are awesome. My bike is the red Defy in the photo, sometimes I ride my wife's trike, when she lets me.
Better shot of my 2009 Giant Defy 2.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Felts. Never owned one, but they sure look cool!

Yes Jan, very pedestrian. Thats exactly what I was thinking...
You and Blazing Pedals are in the "something else" category for sure!

Hi,
I thought one of these threads already existed. I don't have the time to look for it right now, but if I'm wrong I'll post later.

^ Most all the threads here already exist in one form or another. I don't think I'd go quite as far as Shakespeare, so I'll just say there's not much new under the sun.
