Just joined this forum. I am 53 years old and was surprised when I discovered last summer that I can keep up with my young nephew and his friends on long rides. I ride a Linus Classic Roadster which I like for the simplicity and style and also have a Jamis DXT Sport that I bought for trails. I blog about biking and have challenged myself to get out more - anywhere there's a park with decent trails. I'm not a MAMIL but do not make fun of ANYBODY I see riding or jogging on the streets and trails. If you're outside doing something good for your health instead of wasting away clutching a cell phone I don't care what you look like. So far the trails have been friendly - that sentiment seems to be reciprocated.

Welcome to Bike Forums, Houcycle27!

Welcome to Bikeforums from a fellow Houston biker. I am mostly a road biker. What is your blog? I have a website (see my signature below) covering Texas bicycling news, events and experiences. Keep active and enjoy biking. Try the roads for variety.

welcome to the forum... I live in houston as well, at least for the next few weeks, am moving up to porter area....be sure and check out the over 50 section... we can use some of you young folk.

The blog is called Have Bike Will Pedal. I'm not here to promote it - I just saw somebody had asked a question about a bike I own and thought it was a good enough excuse to join.

Thanks - I'll probably spend most of my time in that section!

Thanks! Is the Gibson factory still in Kalamazoo?
