Most of my riding this summer has been on my road bike in the form of commuting. I am still able to average 17-18mph with effort on my 11 mile RT commute. I am 61 years old. Went 40 miles once this summer. I used to ride 100-300 miles a week. I am ashamed of my pathetic amount of current riding.

I rode my ultra low racer a couple of times my trike a few times and my Fixed gear bikes a dozen times. I like the ease of climbing on the uprights and the ease of parking the traditional wedgie.

Granted, I'm "cheating" w/an ebike... but I figured I'd share some of this summer's scenery *shrug*

Cheating? Na you are not cheating, you are just helping to make jobs for people at battery and electric motor factories.

Your avatar really cracks me up. I once rode a 54" highwheel bike. I'm riding it and say to the owner, how do I stop this thing? He suggests that I lay it down into his bean field. I did.
