Lycra; who would have known it! :)

"Dressing up in skin-tight Lycra and pounding the highways on a road bike may not sound like the way to age gracefully but scientists have found that older cyclists show fewer signs of ageing compared with non-cyclists"

Please let me demonstrate the ride around; really it's no trouble.

One of the guys in the roadie club is 73 or 74 and bangs off a century ride no problem. He doesn't ride with the fast group but has no problem hanging with the intermediate group. He had to upgrade to index shifting a few years ago when someone stole his old bike (POS). His new bike (also a POS) is at least 15 years old. Doesn't hold him back at all. :)
