Road Cycling - age poll?

has anyone here ever done a survey of road rider ages? I tried to do a search but i couldn't because of the stupid word length limit (the word "age" is too short :mad: ) i just don't want to repost something that's already been discussed.

anyways, i want to know what the distribution of rider age is.... around here it seems like everyone that rides is 30+. (I'm 23)

I turned 16 in October. I'm a road rider.

There was an age poll on the forums quite a while ago. I'm too lazy to go looking for it now though.

WorldIRC...thats pretty weird, man, I turned 16 in October too! So did my cousin! oh snap!

You aren't my cousin are you? He doesn't ride, and he's from Maryland, but he might be a closet roadie! heh just kidding.

whats your birthday...It isn't the second is it?

I'm 25 going on 12 :D

I just turned 33 in November.

There was one just previous to this that lumped everyone 55+ into one category - a couple of us did not really appreciate that.

Do a search on "poll" and you will find the other one, also, I would guess.

I'll be 28 on Dec. 29th... whatcha all getting me ?? Anything Italian in a 54cm would be grrrrreaat !

yup i saw that one... but that's for everyone on the forum. i know that MTBers tend to be younger. So since it hasn't been done before, I'll do a road-specific poll. Here goes...!

I'm 38! And I have three kids (5, 3, 2)

Eh wots, wrong with being 55 ????:D :D :D

16 on may 13th.

going 54, in 2003, have 4 kids, 24, 21, 18 and 5

I'm 42, but look much younger thanks to biking!:D

47, and when I gave blood a couple weeks ago, my pulse was 35. Maybe it has something to do with the 6000+ miles I rode this year. Anyhow, I guess it'll just keep getting slower until it just stops... then I die! :D

BTW, Happy 28th, sipperphoto!

:D 35 years old,I have been riding for at least 31 years.Most of it was between 17-35.

I'm turned 53 in August. I will be marrying on Valentine's day 2003, and my bride and I plan to adopt a child, as well raise her 11 year-old daughter. I plan on a minimum of 3000 road miles in '03, after slacking off somehat in' 02.

I'm 21, single, in college and love it!

I'm 44 with 2 kids (18 and 9). I try to ride 2500 or more miles a year

Chronologically I'll be 51 in April, though emotionally I'm about 14! :D I figure if I never grow up, I'll never grow old - right?

Otherwise, married for 29 yrs, 2 cats, no kids. I'm investigating a cycling tour of Italy - ride and eat!

I'm 37, turning 38 in 7 months time.

I turned 50 last July, but I REFUSE to grow up. Just ask my wife.

I am 73 yrs old have a GT Mt Bike, Trek 2300, CompuTrainer ride over 3,000 per yr, to keep my diabetes under control, for the past 53 years.

I'm 35 and never really thought I'd ever be this old.

speir2,

You've got my attention.

I look forward to hearing of your exploits and knowledge from over the years and only can hope to put in that much cycling.

Please join in often!
