Hello, from Baltimore,MD. Kids are getting out of college, now is time for "dad" time. For 25 years I have been a full time volunteer for every thing my kids got involved in. The boss misses the kids already, but I wanna putter around on my bike(s).

My bikes are a Hummer (montague) paratrooper, Downtube FS9, an old eastern european single speed folder and am waiting anxiously waiting for a Mercier Nano, a mini velo.

BTW, my preference for the smaller bikes is because there is no easy access to my basement where the bikes live. When I was younger and healthier it was really tough to move my big ten speeds in and out. I also love the convinence of having a bike live in my trunk.

My lifestyle has resulted in a five-way bypass, degenerated lower discs, no ACL, and seven knee repairs. I am currently recovering from a SLAP tear, rotator cuff surgery, etc.

Hope to be cleared to ride in 6 weeks. I hope.

So, while I'm laid up,I will have time to look around and converse with others with my affliction for small bikes.

Thank you

Howdy, nice bike collection.
Hope you'll be riding soon
