When we moved in 2003 (I was 52), my wife and I only rode mtn.bike trails and rail-trails. Not near as many in our current location, so in 2006 (55 y.o.) we bought drop bar road bikes. I'm 71 now and...

Wildwood, that is a sharp looking bike! If someone had mentioned yellow as a color for a bike, don't know that I would have pictured it as a color I'd care for. But I really like it!!

Silver Sneakers exercise classes--do you participate in these? My wife and I do, free through our Medicare Advantage plan. Now, I'm only 70 and she's a bit younger, but surprised how much fitter we...
