I'm new to the forum - today - and am 70 (71 next month). My doctor recommended that I get more exercise after I finished another season of lobster fishing. In August, in preparation for cycling, I had my mountain bike tuned up and put road tires on it. After a couple of weeks, I decided to dig out my Fuji Allegro (1986) and have it tuned as well. After I started riding the Fuji, I purchased new bike shoes and clipless pedals, which I feel comfortable with, and more connected with my bike than with clips. . I'm now riding about 15 miles a day at between 14 and 15 1/2 mph, and often extending my rides as it feels good. I really enjoy riding, and am sorry I missed all those years of riding.
