Bicycling

The only bikes i own are a couple of 50s' vintage bikes.

I wonder if any of them are a Galaxy Flyer

Will do! I have to wait for better weather but I certainly will.

i have a beat up old hybrid bike. its not pretty to look at but i love taking my bike on trails through the woods. i go about once or twice a week on one to two hour sessions. its such a great way to keep in shape.

Hmmm, why not continue, no real reason we have to stop. I am still buzzing from a great ride this evening.

I am an active member in my local bike club. But since I had Lyme disease last Summer, I have not ridden with them. I actually like the simplicity of rolling the bike out of the house (yes, the house, my bikes do NOT stay in the garage, yeah, pretty anal about bikes too), and hop on and ride.

I live in the country, so it is a great starting location whether I head N, S, E, or W. I cannot see loading my bike up in my car along with all my gear, driving 10 or more miles to the club's start location, ride, then drive home.

TBH, I do miss riding in the huge packs of riders, riding in pacelines that just literally hummed from the sound of well maintained road bikes. I miss sitting in a paceline less than 1 foot from the wheel in front of me. The required intensity and concentration is an incredible rush.

I've never hooked up with the spandex and peloton crowd. My bud and I just take off.

Garages are almost rare in my neck of the woods, so everybody either leaves their bikes in the yard or hauls 'em into the house.
