I just turned 54. 6'2" 230#. I like the long stuff, so I split my time among Long Distance, Clydes and 50+. I inherited my father's gadget gene so I'm in Electronics Lighting and Gadgets some, too.
My girlfriend and I test rode a C'dale tandem a couple weeks ago...soooo...
Almost forgot. My other passion is guitars, playing them and building them. There is a whole other world of guitar and luthier forums out there, too.

I'm not 50+ (45) so I've not actually been to the 50+ area, but I'm also no longer 200+ (as I was when I started out a couple months ago), but this place just feels comfy to me so I spend most of my time browsing around here.

Another 50+ Athena. Also check out commuting and classic & vintage. Not because I collect, but because the bikes I've accumulated have aged with me.

Just curious, and an obvious question, most seem hard core cyclists. IS cycling your Main Activity?
I love cycling, but would list it behind tennis, golf and boating? Probably why I don't have near the miles or distance as most of you.

I turn 50 in September. I'm a clyde, I commute daily, I ride and race with roadies, I toodle down MUPs on my SS/FG, I tour, I use my bike for going shopping and running errands, I chop down trees, wear high heels, suspenders and a bra. My home forum is Bike Forums....all of them.

52 y/o clyde that commutes by C/V (and sometimes by mountain bike) here. While I check many of the forums upon logging in, C&A is the FIRST one I check out every time. Nice folkses up in here, every day, all day and night.

I'm primarily an open-water swimmer. I was a bike racer in another lifetime, one of those weird "trackies". (Not to be confused with "Trekkies")
