I can't remember when I wasn't riding. Some years more than others, but never not riding at all. My mtn bike is a hardtail, '96 frame with upgraded parts. My road bike is an '06 LeMond. both still serve me well, and feel no need for a more "modern" bike. I do enjoy reading and seeing the new innovations, but not something I absolutely must have. I do miss seeing mtn.biking in the Olympics (that was fun!). Not the youngest here, so I've gone through many cycles of what became popular, even remember when mtn.biking first became popular and everyone was getting into it. Guess the newest thing is e-bikes and electronic shifting, and while interesting, not something I see investing into anytime soon. But been riding so long don't ever see myself feeling "new to the party". Just a "senior" guy enjoying seeing the new innovations coming along.
