I had about 6 bikes or so when I was young. Rode quite a few years when I lived in Europe as well....but it's been a very long time since I last rode...so I consider myself sort of new...with previous experience.

I'm 41 with two kids and young at heart but pretty mature...so I'll keep it in check! Don't want my kids growing up fatherless

The bike IS staying in rain mode for a loooong time!
