45. I've been riding since I was 4 or 5, but really got into bikes in the late 70's, when I got a used Raleigh Record (yellow with black). Worked in a couple shops in the early 80's... since then, I've cycled in a lot of ways... for fun ... touring in the US and Europe ... car-free as a graduate student ... commuter ... and so on. My main bike is a folder that will probably be used up long before it gets to be vintage, but somehow it seems that my bikes, even the ones I bought new, suddenly become vintage when I look away for a few seconds.
