Sixty-two years old. I have a 1989 Miyata 1000 LT touring bike that I love to ride. Mostly a recreational rider to stay fit. Aim to ride around 1,500 miles each season. Mostly a fair weather rider so I can enjoy the solitude of a bike ride in the country. I'm a Type Two Diabetic, so I must be careful about longer distance riding these days. Longer rides are about 50 miles now, with the average ride being 25 plus miles around a lake. Hope I can continue to ride forever!

Headphones while cycling Noise is noise, whether it's in your ear(s), in front or beside you, or behind you. If the noise is too loud for safely operating the vehicle, whether that be a car, bicycle, roller blades, skateboard or whatever type of transportation you're using...that's an accident waiting to happen, not to mention hard on your hearing. I can carry on a conversation with someone while still using the earphones, just as i can when driving my car with the radio on. |

What tips do you have for making temporary “get me home” repairs? I always carry an old plastic card ( credit card type ) in my wallet. I have duct tape, electrical tape, and a safety pin and paperclip included with this "fastening repair kit". The length of the tapes can depend on the size of the package you want. I always carry this emergency fastening kit with me and have made friends their own. You'd be surprised how often it comes in handy for something that gets loose on a bike trip or a step saver around the house. |

What is the stem/seatpost thing on the Bicymple? It just looks like the only design possible to get the seat as far awar as possible from the handlebars. |
