Happy 50th Birthday to me
Since you losers are the closest thing I have to friends I thought I'd share that today is my 50th birthday. I didn't think it would matter but it does. Here's hoping someone will throw some abuse my way! :-)

Hey this was a good Idea, I'm actually getting some hits. I actually feel like I have some freakin' friends :-) Let's see, bike related gifts ... no I don't think so since I have no friends. BUT! I have been buying MYSELF tons of stuff - mostly clothing. I intend to be better dressed for this commuting business since my kids were harassing me about my attire. Of course I've been spending plenty of money on bike stuff like cables; housings; bar tape; saddles & other parts over the past few months leading up to spring.

I thought this would be about your bike turning 50. In bike years you're only 25. Enjoy.

I think you are supposed to have some PIE! Check with the regulars at the over 50 board and they will agree.
And thank you for elevating my status to loser. That's one of the nicer things thrown my way here.
Have Fun!

Wow, 50, so tell us about how you scrimped and saved to buy that new Penny Farthing that had just rolled off the assembly line 
Happy Birthday, it's awesome to have survived so long. You must be doing something right!

Happy half century day! May you bike as much as possible before your warranty runs out. (I've about a year to go for that milestone.)
