By Coach John Hughes I turn 65 next month and, according to the Social Security Administration, I can expect to live on average until age 84. A woman turning 65 this year can expect to live until age 86. Those are just averages, of course, including both couch potatoes and those of us who take care of our bodies. About one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90, and one out of 10 will live past age 95. I’ll be riding at least 20 more years! In my 40s I was one of the top ultra-distance racers in the country. In my 50s I led tours advertising “100,000 feet of descending in the Colorado Rockies” — of course, you had to climb before you could descend!

Jim's Tech Talk     Mechanical & Product Advice Jim Langley   North American Handmade Bicycle Show & a Cool Little Book (Quick Note:  RBR contributor Paul Smith will be attending the NAHBS this weekend and will file a report for an upcoming issue.) If you live anywhere near, or are going to be in Charlotte, North Carolina, this weekend, I’m jealous. Because that’s where the 10th annual North American Handmade Bicycle Show  is being held from March 14 to 16. I was lucky enough to attend several years ago, when they rolled into San Jose, and it was fantastic. This year there are more than a hundred companies exhibiting from mainstream brands and manufacturers to the custom builders that bring so much creativity, artistry and amazement to these shows. Plus, this show is among the few fully open to the public and at very reasonable pricing, only $18 per day, $50 for the 3 days, and $15 for Sunday only. These are friendly shows where you can meet famous builders and component makers small and large.
