Hooben said:For me it's a yes, but a long time ago...
I rode before clipless pedals
before helmets were used in the tour de france
the most widely used helmet was made of leather
we shifted on the down tube
we marveled at aero hoods (hidden brake cables)
the only cyclocomputer was the avocet
clincher tires were brand new (not tubular)
when people laughed at oversized aluminum
before titanium and carbon
the headsets had threads.
Man this sport moves fast.

You sound more like a dog really!Craig Walsh said:I would love to be a pro, I am 19, and should start racing because I am a very competitive person and like chasing after cyclists 50 or so metres ahead of me.
