Fifty year hiatus.....
Haven't ridden in 50 years, heart trouble a couple years ago changed my lifestyle .. Anyway did the unmentionable bought a new online bike a Vilano Diverse 3.0. Started riding this winter, bought a CL bike a Trek 4300 mtb in January. Then a couple weeks ago rode the Trek down the road a few miles and my wife picked me up. We put the bike on a rack on the back When we got twenty miles away, got out and went to the back of the pickup and the Trek was gone, lost. Never found it, someone got a nice bike. Early this week I found a gentleman with a Trek 8.4 DS with maybe ten miles on it. Been riding the wheels off of it all week..I am enjoying this forum as well as biking. Thanks for letting me join.. Oh from southwest Nebraska also......

Good to hear that you're getting back into cycling.
What type of bike have you picked out for your wife?

Nice to have you hear too, Jerry, and glad that you are making some good, solid health decisions. The only thing unhealthy about bikes is mainly drivers! 
Take care!

Welcome to Bike forums and welcome back to cycling. Glad the loss of your Trek didn't get you down.

How much riding are you doing per week? Have you found some good local routes for the mountain bike, or do you stick to the street?
Has it been that typical hot-as-heck mid-west summer? I lived in KC for about 10 years. Couldn't wait to get away from those summers, but looks like I brought them to Europe with me!
