Occasionally something is so old it deserves sepia (the bridge, not the riders, even though one just turned 40).

The Vicious Cycle 
I’m thankful to be Sepia-Aged (44). Only way I’d be able to afford cycling the way I like to. Just dropped $180 today… New tires for the Venge and a new chain/cassette for the 5200.
Most people buy a bike and ride it for ten years for about that amount.
Awesome photo.
I’m a little concerned about the extra outlay I’m sure will come with having two bikes now. I know they’ll wear slower overall, but I’m also sure that the more machines you have, the more dough will fly out of your pocket. Count yourself lucky you escaped so lightly on that purchase!
It gets tricky but it is manageable. I have to be careful about it of course. I buy SRAM components and chains, I stay away from the 2,000 mile racing slicks and go for something that lasts and costs less, etc.
Think I’d just be faded?
I cannot comment on that.
Lovely bridge. Couldn’t you have waited until the cyclists were past?
Very nice photo …. where are those hills? … and Happy Birthday… Anne?
Erik was the birthday boy. This was in the Herault gorge, intersection of the D4 and D1. Beautiful spot.
