    Hi, I used to ride an AnthroTech trike 16 miles to work and back to my job as a farm mechanic on a mixed farm. That was over 20 years ago! I am now in my mid 60’s, retired and have just bought another Anthrotech.

    So I am about to attempt to get back into cycling, but this time I have arthritis in wrists, both knees and a dodgy hip, am overweight and certainly not as fit as I was back then! Wish me luck, I’m going to need it.

    one thing I have noticed already is how much things have moved on, lights, for example, are so much smaller, brighter and weigh less than 20 years ago.

    I am bound to have stupid questions, hope you guys don’t mind.

    Steve

    Thank you. Time certainly flies as you get older.

    Welcome Steve, no spring chicken here either at 61. I've been on bents for 18 years, a 2003 Bacchetta Strava my first bent.

    A good place to tell stories make some long distance friends.
