Awesome post...I'm 24. My Dad collected ballo0n tire Schwinns for many years. I grew up thinking that a bike was strange if it didn't have a tank and a springer....in fact I still think that

That is awesome! Sounds just like me minus the surfing.. I'm 22 and been messing with bikes since I was prolly 10. I'm always hanging around people older but more 50+. It's nice to see people even younger than me keeping hobbies like this going, there is hope!

maybe someone will set you up with black balloon tires...
34. Most of my riding right now is based around my 5 year old. Other than going out with him I'll just go ride around town a couple times a week after dinner.
I rode bikes a lot until I was about 20. Had the usual stuff as a kid. I did have some kind of black banana seat bike with a black seat and black knobby tires. It was cool because no one else had stuff like that at the time. my buddy and I had some women's tank bikes we picked out of the trash, put old mountain bike tires on them from the pile behind the bike shop. We used to ride them around town and on some trails. I was into mountain bikes maybe from 14-20. Nothing crazy though. Had a trek 820 and a gt outpost I bought both new and just sold them this year.
I always wanted a tank bike with fenders, rack, light, funky chainguard... I'll probably always "want" one I'm not willing to spend what people want for them.
