I have two new knees, one is still weak. I was faster when I limped and wobbled.

Since childhood. I biked all over the place in the late 70's and early 80's, egged on by the movie "Breaking Away."

I do urban biking with a local group, and longer rail trail rides with a friend. Thirty miles is my longest ride so far.
