Road Cycling & Mountain Biking

My overgrown boy is an avid road cyclist. He can go 20-30 miles in under an hour on his bike up and down hills, twisting and turning around the country roads. He comes home sweaty and exhilarated. He follows all the cycling news and watches the Tour de France every year. It's a definite love - cycling.

He used to be an avid mountain biker but several bad spills later through wooded trails and his old bones just aren't taking the hits as well as they used to. That's when he switched to road cycling.

He loves it so much that he'll even hit the pavement on his bike in the winter on days when the sun is out, making it seem warmer than it is. I guess it's a nice reprieve from a long, cold winter. The sun reflecting off the snow though can be painful for him. Sport Sunglasses are a must when cycling no matter the season. He always wears eye protection, the proper shoes, and makes sure his bike is maintained. He doesn't want to break down 30 miles from the house and start walking back!
