something I never thought of...
...apparently 50 year old tires don't grab the road as good as they once did. I found this out today while on a bike ride with my 10 year old daughter. I was cruising down a good size hill on the Meteor Flite with a turn at the bottom and BLAMMO, turned handlebars and tire slides and I go flying!!! She thought I was dead!! It's been about 2 hours and I'm gettin sorer and sorer! AfterI hit 40 yrs. old those little bike wrecks hurt like heck!! BEWARE!
