Cyclists are real men (though road cyclists are far more macho than mountain bikers).

You should try RAGBRAI. It really takes a macho man to do Registers Annual Great Beer Ride Across Iowa.

My son is now 34 and took up road biking about 2 or 2 1/2 years ago. He lives in San Francisco, a real challenge for riders. Last year in his class he was No. 2 in the nation and No. 1 on the West Coast. This season, he moved up to the next class. He absolutely loves the sport. It is not for the timid. He has had two accidents that wrecked expensive bikes and could have injured him very badly. Yes, biking will keep you in shape.
