Will has an interesting post in the the recent Riv Newsletter about how he and some friends first noticed bikes and got into them. After your initial foray as a kid with a bike, what was the thing that made you notice them later and turn you into an adult-person-cyclist?
Mine is similar to Will's as a young man in Los Angeles, except it was the flashy riders in "tight clothes" I picked up on. I vividly recall being stopped on Pacific Coast Highway somewhere south of Long Beach (probably on a motorcycle) and watching all the roadies go by, this would be early '80s. This one guy went by on a green (actually celeste blue, but I didn't know that at the time) Bianchi with matching bar tape and riding gear. That was the moment I - a car and motorcycle nut - realized bicycles were a thing, too. A very cool thing, and you got a workout in the process! I was hooked, what hooked you?
