me and my bike addiction
i first became a cyclist at age 8, since i am 68 now I have been riding for 60 years. I have been a tourist a commuter a racer (both road and track) I have road bikes and mountain bikes plus a different genre the truppenfahrad (a German Army bicycle) I have several vintage bikes , a Gamble department stores Eagle from the 1930s and a Schwinn Panther from 1951, a western field bike from ???? my guess is 1950s. I am a bike mechanic. I held a state championship in 1980 for veteran men in the time trial for Illinois, I live in Hot Springs Arkansas.
