Bikes with motors are for people over 40, when that mid-life crisis really starts sinking in

If I wanted to ride to work each day I'd have to a) get a lot fitter fast or b) change jobs.
One way it's a 100 kilometer cummute from door to door :)

40? I'm not sure I can remember that far back.

It's closing in faster and faster every day for me
I still have 30 to look forward to first, though.

I'm more than 5/8 of a century old and I bike to work. Here's the bike I ride: http://www.bikes.com/main+en+01_102+METRO_50_V.html?BIKE=576&CATID=3&SCATID=28&Y=2009. (It's not true that it has no motor, the motor is posting on a web forum just at the moment.)

Although it's only 12 kilometres each way... 100 km would be way out of the question.

If I could bike to work I'd like to think I would as well, that's really a great way to stay sharp, stick with it!

My home town, mostly. Lots of woodland in this area and some MTB trails.
Alternatively I could ride up to visit my family, which is doable at 45 kilometers.
Or I could throw my bike in my car and drive up to where ever I like to ride

Are you okay? You look a little big. Maybe this tiny ad will help:
