I just got a new Kmart Mountain Bike and had it tuned at the local cycle recycle club which is a volunteer group here in Sydney’s Waterloo. Great bunch of guys. I went to Centennial Park and did a lap. I’m 67 and have a replacement hip so I’m taking it easy. I was passed by the cycling pros. Ok. Then a fat commuter on a road bike passed me. Ok. Then a skinny Pakistani Uber Eats guy passed me. Hahaha. Not ok. I feel old and slow. Granted the bike weighs 22 kilos and is a clump, but I love it. I feel free and happy riding again.

Why was the man from Pakistan the final straw?
Keep riding and just have fun. Bike ringing is a blast and great exercise. Congrats on the new bike
Mountain bikes are slow. Suspension works against you.
