Hi All!

When I read what Chuck said about the health benefits of cycling it hit a chord with me.

I've spent too much time fiddling with collectible cars, and wasn't smart enough to balance it with more healthful activities like cycling, like Greg Parker and the rest of you have. I've gotten a bit more active in the last few years, and hope to continue the trend in part with a renewed interest in vintage lightweights. My example of having been impressed with the older gentleman's hill climbing ability truly impressed me. I'm sure I'll never come anywhere near his ability, but any slight improvement in my health as a result of this new interest in cycling will be great.

Re: opinions on bikes/cars, I surely don't know enough about either to speak in tones of edict about them. I'm happy to hear what other's think, especially those more knowledgeable than me, which includes most everyone!
