Greetings from the UK

I'm a mid life cyclist early 40's.
I found cycling when I bought some bikes for my children last year.
Now I have the bug and around 6 bikes !!
I try and ride 3 times a week to keep my fitness up.

Welcome Matey, I think you'll soon learn that mid-40's makes you a kid in some rider's eyes, haha. BTW-there's no cure for the addiction. Once you get it, you got it!

Welcome. I'm yet to work out why people get so many bikes, or how they afford them, but I suspect it's going to hit me soon and I'll be justifying all kinds of mad purchases to my better half!

if you have to justify.... well...don't even start.

but the classic vintage option can be very affordable as a lifetime health hobby.
think about it: Reynolds531/753/853 in all it's iterations. Columbus = too numerous to list. Tange, Ishiwata

or go expensive with a modern variety of road, gravel, mtn, city, tandem (adjustable for kids, too)
