No bike I purchase will ever be as nice as the single-speed, gleaming green
Schwinn I got for Christmas when I was in third grade! No $4,000
carbon-fiber high-tech wonder will ever match the excitement I felt when I
got that beauty! This was in 1958 or so, you understand.

How old were you when you got your first really nice bike and what was
it?

I got a cheap mountain bike from the local bike shop at age 21.(
Mongoose hiltopper)

I got a really nice road bike this year at age 29. (Tommasini techno
ultegra components)

Why did i wait so long?
