New member old rider

[Hogwild]

Name's Greg and I live in Meade County. Kentucky. Retired these days and still riding my 1973 Schwinn World Voyageur. Generally ride 4 days/week and 5-8 miles per ride for cardio. Been my habit since bike was new so the bike has had thousands of miles and routine home maintenance. I have kept it well maintained since the bike was a Christman present in my latter teens. I recently purchased a Fiido Titan e-bike to keep up with 7 grandkids on gravel and mellow trails. Look forward to being here. Greg

That's great! Welcome. I restored one of those a couple of years ago. I think it had the foam covered handle bars and grips! Rubber band around the long pants. 😁

Another oldster still on a pedal bike... good to see I'm not the only one, lol.

How are things in "The Bluegrass" lately? I used to drive through Kentucky on a fairly regular basis in my "trucking daze"---got to see some really cool places (Mammoth Cave comes to mind, and the boat ride on the Green River).
