In an effort to move to a healthier lifestyle

what do you think of this for a bicycle?

Devinci Lifestyle

It's designed for those who don't want a bike for athletic purposes 'cus they're not athletes, but need, for various reasons, a bike with more comfort options. This is a nice bike with great comfort options at a pretty reasonable price. It bears thinking upon, as SWMBO and I have committed to a healthier lifestyle.

My current bicycle was given to me by my sister in, oh, around 1983, which makes it 25 years old now. A Raleigh 5-speed. Not a coaster, but close, and HEAVY! Solid steel. The new bikes are better that in that regard. In fact, if you can believe it, they have the exact model of my current bike in their window, in beautiful condition, same colour even. That was likely the only colour that model came in. I talked to the owner who said that he thought that having a couple of antique bikes in the window was a good thing. They're from his own collection. I wonder if he'd take another on trade-in?

If 25 years is an antique, I wonder where I fit in?

Just this past month I realized something rather disconcerting in my local community newsletter: I am now old enough for the 50plus senior citizens social group that meets twice weekly.
