Welcome KF2M! As Jeremy said this is kind of old fart central, I'm one of the younger farts at 69, you should fit in fine around here. Don't wear out the Giant Trance smile on those hills!

Jeremy, that's what I do whenever stopped, firm brake pressure. I cannot see where it would cause any issues with brake bleeding unless you have a miniscule pin hole.

Welcome Cycling Willy, man you have dealt with a lot of challenges in your life, good on you for refusing to give up and keep pushing forward. Best to you.

Walking, as they say, "something is only worth what somebody is willing to pay" In 2021 bikes were scarce and prices were high, what you paid for it then is probably making you think that it is worth more than it is. Technology has improved and costs have come down, especially on the lower end...

Gen Y, millennials

My son in law doesn't drink coffee but he pounds down Red Bull then goes out for a 150-mile ride, non e bike, while my registered dietitian daughter barks at him that his heart is going to explode. I guess everybody has their vice.

Welcome, 69, but worried that I'll be as old as Jeremy one day.

Yikes wouldn't win a battle with that rock.
